Mr. Lybrate-user, if your anxiety is getting worst day by day you need to consult a psychiatrist for effective medication. Secondly also can stat therapy with a psychologist to understand what triggers anxiety and help manage your anxiety symptoms in long run.

See your doctor has treated your anxiety disorder correctly. Initially you were on etizolam 0.25 which is a benzodiazepine, which releives anxiety and causes sleep. This is also a sleeping tablet, which upon long term use causes dependence, so in order to combat dependence, your doctor stopped etizolam, upon stopping this drug you will experience anxiety, sleep disturbance which is short lasting. So tolerate this. The new drug ,feliz s is antianxety drug ,which takes 3 weeks to act. This drug does not cause dependence.
