Am I crazy?

I'm a 52 year old male who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes two years ago. This past February 2017 I was urinating more than I thought I should. So I went into see my doctor.  They did a urinalysis and found blood in my urine with no sign of a UTI. With my smoking history and my age they referred me to a urologist.  So I went to see the urologist.  The first visit they did another urinalysis and a rectal exam. They said the urinalysis was clear and that my prostate was a little enlarged but nothing remarkable for my age. They ask me to come back in two weeks.  They did a CT scan of my pelvic and abdominal area. They did a PSA blood draw and a cystoscopy.  They said that everything looked good. So I went back to life as normal. But then fear kicked in and I was afraid they missed something.  So I started going to urgent care and the Emergency department  all the time. They said all my lab work was ok and completed two CT scan of my head, 3 chest xrays and said everything was normal.  My regular Doctor says that I'm suffering from Health Anxiety.  She put me on Effexor XR 37.5mg and then upped it too 75mg. I got really spaced out on the 75mg dose and we went back to 37.5mg.  Now I'm on amlodophine 10mg once a day,  motoprol tartare 25mg twice a day, and losartan 100mg once a day. I'm always tired and my lower back hurts. Could this be caused by these medications or am I right to think they missed something? Should I trust what they are telling Me? Is this all my anxiety getting the best of me? I just need some reassurance.
