I think, you have generalized anxiety disorder and in that case, you need both antidepressant and benzodiazepine. You have been taking rivotril(clonazepam) for last three months. That could help you partially, but not completely. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment. In case, you need further help, you can ask.
