Bad anxiety

I am having bad anxiety and have lorezepam 2mg or zanax 1 mg. It is going into anxity attacks and panic attacks I also have bipolar, adhd and Ptsd. On CARBEMAZAPINE for bipolar and dextroamphtemine for adhd I need to stop the anxiety as fast as possible but don't want a lot of side affects and I do want the calm to par a while. Please advise me can't get ahold of psychiatrist til Monday.

First, it's very odd to have two benzos -- lorazepam and xanax are both benzos, so why do you have two of them?  Second, what you're taking for your ADHD is speed, and that can be exacerbating your anxiety.  So there's no easy fix here, you're just going to have to do some deep breathing, maybe some exercise if you can, and work this out with your psychiatrist.

please be carefull with all those meds. perhaps try to sit calmly and do relaxation breathing and meditation. start thinking of your feet, let all the tension drift away.. then focus on your ankles, legs knees etc..

you can find guided meditation sessions on youtube.

chamomile tea with honey..bubble bath..

IDK about xanax..

lorazapam is prescribed for me and it is fast acting.
the adhd meds are most likely why you have anxiety.

i am not a doctor or nurse..

try the breathing, slow.. let all your troubles drift away on a leaf on a quiet stream...
