A new doc will probably try another antidepressant. But another one he might try is Buspar, it's an anti anxiety med. It is hit or miss. For one person it might be a dream come true others nothing at all. I have that need an honest go and eventually dropped it cuz I didn't notice any changes but to be fair it was a extremely stressful time in my life. It takes a couple of weeks to build up in your sustenance but then it's supposed to prevent the anxiety in the first place. Since people require higher doses so keep an open mind. But you would definitely need another med in the meantime while it builds up in your system. Ironically my doctor told me to drop it and just stick with the clon cuz it was working and I only took it as needed and she wasn't worried about me getting hooked on it. Go figure. So keep an open mind and above all we're all so different so find what works for you and stick with it. And I won't do ssris because any medication that kills my sex drive is going to make me really depressed. Docs love to push Ad for anxiety but they aren't the same thing. Good luck. Hopefully your doc actually listens
