Well, for psychosis you would need to be on an antipsychotic. I have been on risperdal, geodon, and abilify (atypical antipsychotics) and I found all of them to be helpful for my anxiety, actually.
If you need something stronger for anxiety, you can try:
-a benzo as needed
-buspar
-gabapentin or pregabalin
This would be in addition to your anti-psychotic.
