I'm on 100mg of Zoloft but still, every day I'm constantly in fear. I have dehabilitating panic attacks often. It never let's up. It's not feelings of anxiety doctor, it's a single feeling of constant anxiety.

I know, I know - this isn't the place for such a question. I just don't know what to do. If this gets removed so be it.

Have you thought about ADHD? It's a common symptom of free-flowing fear and anxiety. It might be counterintuitive, but some medications like methylphenidate or dextroamphetamine can work much better than any SSRI or similar.

Apart from medication, there are some things that might alleviate this issue, such as diet, lifestyle, etc.

Have you done any blood tests?

I've thought about it. The process of getting a diagnosis is so arduous however. I used to snort methylphenidate. I miss it.
