Hi Lynette,

I'm sorry that you have been suffering so much for so long.  I'm not a Psychiatrist, but I work closely with several excellent ones, and I know that my favorite Psychiatrists would most likely say that you might be taking too much medication.  I'd recommend that you get a new psychatric consultation to evaluate the meds. that you are taking. 

 

Also, have you ever tried Cognitive-Behavioral therapy?  Medications do not solve all problems, and CBT might be the missing link for you.  You can find a therapist near your area by logging on to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America (ADAA) website.

 

Regards,
