Question

I'm really concerned about my severity score of 16 out of 25. Does that mean it's very serious? What should I do next? Any advice would be really appreciated!

I've been prescribed petril beta 10 for my anxiety, and I'm wondering if it's safe to take it regularly and for a long period. If it's not recommended, are there any other medications for anxiety besides SSRIs? I've tried escitalopram and paroxetine before, but they make me feel really sedated.
