Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are taking sedative and anti psychotic drugs.

Counselling is very important along with drugs for optimal control and symptomatic relief.
You may need additional drugs too.
So consult psychiatrist and discuss all these.
