    yes it’s normal to have breakthrough anxiety. These medications are not 100% effective for everybody. try not to worry about it because that’s only going to increase your anxiety. Nothing bad will happen it’s just that you have to discuss this with your doctor to manage it. It can take a while before you start to feel better that’s just the way it is with these medication‘s. Do things to relax your mind such as relaxing meditations for anxiety, take a nice warm soothing bath, get a little exercise which increases the good hormones in the brain that fight anxiety, etc. take care
