Depending on how bad they are I would recommend practising mind techniques such as not catastrophising or thinking about problems. Practise periods of time where you focus on something else for instance and see if during this period of time you feel calmer. Sometimes a more sedating antipsychotic can be successful such as Olanzapine or even Clopixol. I was on Clozapine and would have enormous panic attacks but since I changed antipsychotic I don’t panic at all.

Ap gives you anxiety as a side effect, it becomes apparent at high dosage

I think Paxil and Zoloft are reputed to help with social anxiety. Talk to your pdoc about your options.

I took gabapentin for my anxiety and intrusive thoughts. It worked great, but made me gain weight like crazy. I switched to CBD oil and it has been just as effective for a little over a year.

I do therapy so I can recognize them and cope with them without meds.

when things really get bad i use lorazepam but these days that hardly ever happens… usually when things are really bad and they contact gp doc then she says to use some lorazepam.

Im perscribed atarax and ativan for panic attacks and olanzapine for hallucination related attacks
