It's too soon to even consider anxiety meds. If she still wont let you be in
the same room as her without growling in a MONTH, then it's more serious. I
wouldn't expect to touch her for a month or longer. And forcing the issue
and pushing her too soon will do more harm than good. You should be going in
to give her food, and sitting on the floor AWAY from her, and NOT
approaching her at all at this point. You should by all means let HER come
to YOU. Talk calmly, don't approach her, and don't make eye contact. Keep
your shoulders from squaring up on her, keep them angled so she doesn't feel
trapped by your presence. You are pushing this cat way too soon, you should
NOT be trying to touch her. Working with traumatized rescue cats takes lots
of time, money, and patience. Please don't try to rush, rushing never
accomplishes anything but stress.

The easy way out has a bad reputation.
Why would anyone take the hard way out?
"The door? No thanks, that would be the easy way out. I'm jumping out the
window."
