Can I double a dose of my anxiety medication?

Home More advice Health

I've recently started taking medication for my anixety, but it doesn't work. I started with xanax .25, and that did nothing. So my doctor gave me Valium at 5. That isn't working either. Now my mom thinks that I don't need more medication and that this is something that will just pass. I know it won't, and now I'm stressing more. Is it ok to double a dose? Or is it really dangerous?
