Severe Anxiety and Insominia

My name is Edward. I am a black male,36 years old. I am 5'8" tall and weigh at 200 pounds. I has been diagnosed by a psychiatrist as severe anxiety,depression,insominia, and paranoid schizophrenia. The medications I am on is Effexor Xr 225mg, Neurontin 100mg tid, Thorazine 200mg at night,and stop taking Zyprexa 5mg.

What do you recommend I do to ask my doctor to increase dosages on neurontin and effexor xr for anxiety? Do you recommend to take Seroquel XR and other recommend medications to me sleep at night and to help ith severe anxiety attacks? I need something to knock me out.

I feel your pain, as I am also dealing with PTSD, depression/anxiety disorder, and ADHD. I assume you see your Psych on a regular basis for a "meds check"? Are you also seeing a counselor? These two work hand in hand, and both are essential. The counseling has helped me to control my anxiety symptoms. As long as you are communicating effectively with your Psych about all your symptoms, leave the medication suggestions up to them. They are the experts.

Are you exercising at all?  It can really enhance the effects of anti-anxiety meds and therapy.
