Hello /r/Anxiety, My (25m) gf (24f) has pretty severe general anxiety and its been getting worse. Her long term therapist quit on her a few weeks ago. We had an onboarding appointment with a new therapist last week but my gf could not speak for the entire appointment out of panic. Her PCP has her on Klonopin but I feel like it's not doing anything, and she is too afraid to try a different med (Wellbutrin made her suicidal and weed makes her anxiety worse). We are in the process of getting her on SSI but she is unable to take phone calls from the attorney and screams when her phone rings. She also has an unrelated surgery in a few weeks that she has been panicking about. She spends most of the day in bed but I've had limited success coaxing her out with cute animal videos. I tell her everything is ok and there is nothing to worry about but I cannot get through the internal screaming.

What tips do y'all have for calming her down and letting her know there is nothing to worry about? 

What meds would you recommend we ask the Dr. about?

What techniques can she use to calm down?
