Hi L:RM and welcome.
I am sorry to hear about your difficult start up. How are these symptoms differing in terms of how you were feeling before you started on the Rx?
If you already had significant anxiety, and this is a slight bump, then you can probably trust that your body is going to adjust after the initial building up and leveling off phase of starting any new A/D med.
If however, this is a marked increase, and beyond what you were ever feeling without an Rx, then you may want to have a conversation with your doctor about making a switch. Some meds just are not a good match for certain people.
If you plan to stick it out...remember that it can take several weeks for your Rx to come to theraputic levels in your system.
In the meantime, we have great sefl-help coping skills recommendations in our Resources. See the main page, 1st thread, and give them a try...they work!
Keep posting with us for support anytime.:)
