I wouldn't take an antidepressant. You do have an atypical antipsychotic I suppose? Which? I would take the maximum therapeutic dose. If you do, be sure to keep taking it at the same dosage until your next visit with your psychiatrist or therapist (if your therapist can ask your psychiatrist for additional meds if needed). If you take a high dose only once you may get more severe problems afterwards. But the same would be true for any anxiolytics, so if antipsychotics would be enough for now I'd suggest you take (more of) those.
