I have an anxiety disorder ( OCD) and was on an antipsychoti for over a year. Not because I'm psychotic, but because they found that the antipsychotic drugs often magnify the effect of the SSRIS and work with them to lessen anxiety. It's one of the other benefits of the drug. They are often used to treat anxiety disorders. I know, I thought it was strange, too when I was prescribed them. It's unfortunate that your Doctor didn't explain this to you. My advice would be to give the med a try. It might help. I was on risperdal (antipsychotic) and effexor (ssri).
