I'm seeing a psychiatrist right now. He said that the treatment for my generalized anxiety is 1 year. I take Paroxetine (Xet 20 mg) once daily and Rivotril (Clonazepam) 1/8 at night. He decrease the dose of my rivotril, because I take it 1/4 at night to 1/8, he said that in my next appointment, he will not prescribed rivotril anymore. My concerned is that I know it will take quiet sometime to recover, but I have worries everyday, like I don't want to hear loud noises and bang on the door (Im in my auntie's house right now and they don't know my issues, especially my grandma, I don't want her to worry) I feel like, is it for me? Are they angry? But I can brush it off in my head. Just a little beat of breathing or listening to music. But my worries so far is that if I will take the board exam this March 2019? I feel like my mind is not yet ready, but I don't want to disappoint my grandma & parents, they know that I will take the pharmacy board examination this March but as of the moment, I don't want too. Right now, I don't read books and didn't start to review :(I need advice. Thank you.

The treatment you taking is adequate. You should tell your family about your problem. That will help you cope up with the situation in a better way. Also along with the meds I would Want you to start doing some regular exercise or meditation in any form. Bring home a colouring book and whenever you feel like an anxiety attack take that out and start colouring. Practice deep breathing and relaxation. Talk to someone venting out your feelings and emotions will help you deal with them in a better way.
