Is your anxiety constant throughout the day?

I used to suffer terribly with anxiety. Specifically Abilify induced anxiety.
Then I started taking this
And 2 capsules of this

When I wake up.
Those 2 items keep anxiety at bay until about 6pm. Then I take my Abilify at 6pm.
About 3 hours after taking Abilify, my anxiety ramps up again, so at about 9pm I take
100mg of vitamin b1. This brings everything back to normal. This was like a huge discovery for me.
I’ve also quit nicotine (easier said than done), and am down to 2 cups of instant coffee a day. 1 teaspoon of instant coffee in each.
So with all of that, I no longer have an anxiety problem.

My anxiety is pretty much perennial. I have had a handful of experiences over the course of my illness where it goes away for whatever reason and during those times life was profoundly livable. I could enjoy things, the positive symptoms that lingered were incredibly easy to ignore, my attention span came back. It makes me wonder if the best way to describe my illness would be something like “anxious schizophrenia”. The two disorders are so closely intertwined for me that it makes me feel like there’s no way they’re physiologically distinct. Like there’s no way I’m a schizophrenic with terrible anxiety. When the anxiety lifts so does the psychosis more or less.

I’ve only have one panic attack my entire life. Was really terrifying and embarrassing, I hope no one has one on a daily basis
