Thanks again for your question. We have determined based on your many questions that you must have a complex case and therefore you are best served by discussing these issues directly with your doctor. Anxiety often requires a team including a neurologist, a psychologist and a psychiatrist. Dopamine is given frequently to avoid wearing off and maybe a SSRI or benzodiazepine will help. If you have a generalized anxiety disorder this may be very difficult to treat._________________Michael S. Okun, M.D.
