Well Hello, yes it's me again, the O.P., & it's now been around two months since I joined the forum with my first post. As I've said Generalized Anxiety Disorder which is apparently what I have is just the worst thing, particularly when, like in my case, it's combined with depression which has dogged me for many years. With "G.A.O." one often doesn't feel like doing anything much, with lack of interest in daily tasks etc etc, but in my case, I was feeling so bad, in fact worse than I ever had, made very much worse by my inability to get to sleep. Having been prescribed a medication, I decided to investigate what alternatives there were, because what I was on was certainly not doing the trick for me, and as I investigated I learned that what I was on could actually accelerate insomnia,....which was what was happening to me. And not being able to sleep was not good, not good at all. So I decided to look for alternatives, & I found one, which was said to be more suitable for those with insomnia. Consequently, I rang my psychiatrist, mentioned an alternate medication that may be more suitable for me, I was provided with a prescription & have now been on the new medication for 3 weeks or so with very pleasing results. I'm now having a good night's sleep, & feel much better during the day. I still don't think I'm anywhere near normal, but I'm a lot better than what I was. So my message is, well it seems to be working in my case anyway, if a particular medication is not working for you, have a look around & see if you can find an alternative, because IMHO what's good for one person may not be good for another.
