My comments were just our experience and from the little information you'd posted it concerned and puzzled me that you were being prescribed a medication such as Risperdal for anxiety.

You've mentioned so many different medications recently. It is confusing.

The best person to advise about medications is a knowledgeable and understanding professional. Maybe you need a second opinion. It worries me that perhaps you are grasping for straws. Meaning you seem willing to try almost anything.

CBT is usually done over a period of time. It takes a lot of commitment and involves homework. It's not something that works straight away in one session and of course, like everything, it may not be helpful for everyone. If you have already done a session in CBT in the past, it may be worth revisiting. It can take months but can be a useful adjunct therapy if you are taking a medication at the same time.

Anyway...
all the best to you in finding what will help you.
