I tried a few medications when I was younger but they didn't have any benefit for me. The final one I tried actually made me go psychotic for a time and I had to lock myself in a room because of incredibly strong violent urges (apparently a known side effect). After that I said "No way" to any further medications offered to me.

My doctor has continued to offer them to me through the years, the most recent being some antipsychotics used to treat schizophrenia. I don't have schizophrenia, but he said in low doses it may help with some shared symptoms, like the anxiety. There's not a chance I'll take him up on the offer though. He's offered to start me on the process for getting medical marijuana as well, but the only types offered here are not strains that would be of much help (high THC with low CBD). It's not legal for me to grow the ones that would possibly help, which is rather stupid but that's the laws.

Lately I've been changing up my diet to see if an increase in certain vitamins has any effect, and I'm building something on my property so I can get outside for the summer and not feel so exposed. Getting out of my regular space and routine through that may help.

If you are having trouble sleeping, depending on the cause you may be able to resolve those difficulties without taking anything - medications or otherwise. For example, if it's due to nightmares and flashback dreams, you can actually learn to make them stop (for the most part) by increasing your awareness of your dreams.
