I have been there too Becky.
I had panic every day, all day, for a long time. It was back when they didn't have a diagnosis for it. I always felt like I was 2 feet off the ground looking at life through a dim window. I couldn't stop moving. I couldn't eat. It was the worst thing I've ever experienced. I did end up in the hospital. The anxiety got so bad that I couldn't move my muscles. Finally my body solved some of the problem by burning up the extra adrenaline with severe muscle cramps. I remember the cramps starting in my legs and moving up to my chest. When I started having the chest muscle spasms I thought it would surely kill me. It is what made me feel a little better. No one would tell me what was wrong with me. It was so frightening. I could actually hear the electrical current going through my mind. I call it the time I went where no man has been before, lol.
I got better without treatment. They didn't have treatment then. They just said I had an adjustment disorder. I called it brain leak. It was so hard getting through every day and I had two babies to raise alone. God was with me and he didn't hate me. He doesn't hate you either. It was a part of my journey.
The medications you are on are not typical for anxiety. I'm going to go to the PTSD site and see what they have listed and post the list here. Have you had your thyroid tested recently? That can also cause anxiety.
I'm really sorry you have to go through this.
Huge hugs,
