Increased Dosage of Meds Making Anxiety Worse

So I told my doctor my med aren’t working and they’re making me worse and so she up my dosage of them and now I’m fine when my anxiety is fine but when my anxiety starts back up that’s like 10 times worse than it normally is without the labs like I have an anxiety attacks now when my anxiety starts up or I overthink extremely badly, should I go off them?

I took myself off my meds (which im not saying you should) because I feel like it made me feel worse than I was without it. Only you know what it does to you but here is some advise, doctors aren’t always right. Dont let them pressure you into something you dont feel is right for you. Be your own advocate and say something. If they dont agree, get another doctor.
