2 months medication - April 1st 2012, 02:28 PM

I've been under medication for two months, I can say that it really helped my
anxiety. but still I am experiencing them almost everyday but not to the point that I'm losing my mind. Which is quite understandable since I have a lot of projects, exams, and exercises to tend to. But two months still I can say that my anxiety have been reduced but the side effects are quite dreadful. Two months and still experiencing a lot of side effects is that normal?

I have been diagnosed with GAD, OCD, and social phobia.

Still having a hard time travelling through public places still experiencing a
dreadful feeling when leaving home. but now it is quite tolerable upon medication. Still having a hard time concentrating, my mind always goes blank.
Always confused. switching from one thing to another. I can't get anything straight. Always feeling empty and tired probably because of my anti anxiety meds. My mood always goes blank. I really have a poor memory now. I'm finding it hard to concentrate in class and due to that my performance at school is very low.

Is this normal shouldn't meds help me function normally. With or without meds my daily life is dreadful. 2 months should have been enough for my body to adjust. but still.
