Patricia Farrell, PhD responded:
You should have been referred for some cognitive therapy with an experienced, licensed therapist who specializes in anxiety disorders. It's not all medication that works and there needs to be a self-help/cognitive component.

It can be worked out and you will learn how to help yourself at the first hint of anxiety coming on. This is where you need to intervene (the first hint of anxiety) and you can help yourself to stop it before it builds up.

Hope you do find a qualified therapist and that it works out well for you now.
