hi. it really...depends. any major tranquilizer/antipsychotic can, potentially, help agitation, anxiety in some people. there -is- a risk of making some forms of anxiety worse, causing akathisia, etc., plus...especially when you're dealing with 2+ tranqs at the same time, or high dose tranquilizers, there's also a risk of making social withdrawal, apathy, depression a lot worse. I think that's supposed to be more of a problem with the older drugs, but...still...

maybe its a psychosocial thing? can you get out and do stuff, like visit a museum or go see a movie or...I don't know, lol. Anything. Me, I've just now gotten to where I can chill out and enjoy the nice weather, the stuff around me, etc., so I know where you're coming from, to a point...

hope this helps. maybe you should have a talk with the shrink. I don't recommend regular, long term benzodiazepine use, but if its that -or- adding in a 2nd antipsychotic, I"d go for the mother's little helper, personally.

good luck.
