I have been taking medication for anxiety, but recently I switched doctor ,He has suggested medication which is used for schizophrenia. Though initially I felt better, but now I am getting scared of medication as schizophrenia tablets doesn't go off easily. Also Whenever I visit doctor, I am not able to talk about my problems as I get sudden mood changes. Feeling helpless, please guide.

Severe anxiety can be treated with low doses of antipsychotics I.e with medication that r used for schizophrenia. However,if you r feeling better with medication then it?s advisable to continue medication under the treating doctors supervision because if your symptoms are under control your quality of life will improve. Also, the mood changes could be because of anxiety. So,I advice you to write your issues On a piece of paper and read them to your doctor in the next visit.
