Default better meds for anxiety / agitation

Dear David,
The short answer response to your post is that you need better meds.
The pyschiatrist needs to address the anxiety/agitation/racing thoughts.
It is possible that you have mixed moods like I used to have.

Scroll up to see my favorite graphic of mixed moods.

Read his page and see if it sounds like you:

For now, imagine someone with manic symptoms of rapid thoughts and speech, who instead of feeling euphoric, feels terrible: depressed; with negative thoughts, especially about her/himself; full of negative energy, and possibly even delusional (e.g persecutory or paranoid delusions, or delusions of terrible guilt and responsibility). This combined state occurs very commonly in mania, unfortunately.
