I recommend you to consult and review with the same psychiatrist you met so that he can see you and change or increase the dosage of medications. Good luck for your exams.

Hi benzodiazepines have short term benefits. Tolerance and Cross tolerance need to be kept in mind.
It seems that your anxiety is related to exam. please consult a clinical psychologist and learn cognitive behavioural approaches.
Try relaxation and meditation.

regular walking and focus on physical fitness
