cbt? dbt? I think at this point you need non-drug (and definitely non-sedating) options, if at all possible ((personal opinion)).

It's hard to hear you suffer this much..
Do you have the option to be some days in the "psych ward" again, as last time it went pretty good, right?

there is Hydroxyzine.....in the US they use it alot at psych hospitals, it's an antihistimine but it has anxiety reducing properties.....not sure about other countries but you could ask about hydroxyzine for anxiety, it's not a controlled substnace, and is a faviorte choice amoung psych hospital doctors

have you tried perphenazine? should be weight nutral. and help you sleep. also an AP, and wears off before you wake up, so you won't over sleep.

i think i fixed it. I take Trazodone in the morning now and Effexor immediate release at night.
Last night i didnt have anxious thoughts. Trazodone is not sedating for me.
