I am the same way. I cant take any medicine for anxiety i tryed lexepro, cymbalta, koplin, etc..but i would always get racing heart beat hot flashes headaches and so on. So what i did i gave up on meds and just let it be. I was fighting it for about 5 month, i would go and exercice, be with friends, go shopping, go to work. None of it i  enjoyed it but i said to myself i have no other choice its not stronger than me. I was always dizzy, scared to go to mall, sensetive to light becouse of my migraine, ignoring my friends, pain everywhere, thoughts of having cancer or somekind rare illnes etc. Now i do get anxiety sometimes but i know how to contol it. Madicine does help for some people and for limited time But you are the one how has the control of you mind and body.

My advise is if you think you can't function without medicine than don't give up keep trying there must be one that works for you. If not than do what i did :))
Good Luck
Keep us posted.
