Hello, its very unfortunate that you have been suffering from such excessive anxiety symptoms since last 8 years. It would have been very good if you could have also included the names of the drugs that you have taken in the query. In absence of your previous medication history, it would be difficult for us to comment on the adequacy and appropriateness of your treatment.  There are plenty of different drugs available for anxiety and different people respond to different types of drugs. The key to the anxiety treatment is being in regular consultation with your psychiatrist who can change the dosage and medication frequently so that you get the relief. Lorazepam is a shorter acting benzodiazepine and hence clonazepam is preferable over it. Also please consider Cognitive Behavioural Therapy along with the meds. Dont forget to exercise regularly and eat healthy. Hope I am able to solve your concerns. Have a nice day.
