Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And PTSD

My sister is being treated for anxiety, PTSD and is not improving Sheis taking 4 different meds and the dosages keep getting raised .I am concerned because she is either excessively drowsy, dry mouth constipation, and still not feeling calm. Although her psychaitrist now says these meds are not what she would prescribe, she keeps increasing the dosages! What can I do to help her? There are very few psychaitrists that either accept Medicare or even cash paying patients in the Capital District of Albany , NY??????????
