Anxiety medication questions, increased suicidal thoughts + more?

i have recently switched to an anxiety med from an antidepressant med, about 2 weeks ago. Im not taking Valium a Benzodiazepine med. the side effects i have noticed are, mild insomnia, not good at memory on little things, loosing train of thought, increase in sex drive, increase in thoughts of suicide and wanting to cut again.

im seeing my doctor in lil over a week, besides these side effects, my anxiety is gone which is a relief with the absense of attacks, im happy, not depressed. The thoughts of suicide and wanting to cut dont effect my depression b/c these thoughts are soothing to me. Any advice on whether i should stay w/ this medication or switch?
i have attempted suicide in the past when the suicidal thoughts were over powering, afraid they could intensify to this level again.

    Some of those symptoms are no tnecessarily from th emeds but might actually be psychological symptoms coming from you.what i mean to say is the meds have peeled away a layer of anxiety to expose the more depressive symptoms. now you need to talk to a therapist or for now just someone you trust or write your thoughts in a journal. Depresion is the other side of the coin .I experience the depressive thoughts myself when my anxiety is absent for a time..then when my anxiety returns the depression is barely there.i don’t take meds bu ti have panic disorder/anxiety/cod etc

    Did you know-psychiatrists have the largest crime rate? They have the highest rate of commiting rape, murder, assault, fraud, drug dealing and so on of all the medical professions. You can do some reading online and see all the fraud and non proven claims about drugs too. Some docs even get grants of millions from drug companies. That’s not fair research. Prozac is shown no better than a placebo lately.

    Psychiatrists claim that a person needs a drug to combat their chemical imbalance in the brain which is causing a persons mental disorder. However, the concept that a brain-based, chemical imbalance underlies mental illness is false. While popularized by heavy public marketing, it is simply psychiatric wishful thinking. As with all of psychiatric disease models, it has been thoroughly discredited by researchers.

    Diabetes is a biochemical imbalance. However, as Harvard psychiatrist Joseph Glenmullen states, the definitive test and biochemical imbalance is a high blood sugar balance level. Treatment in severe cases is insulin injections, which restore sugar balance. The symptoms clear and retest shows the blood sugar is normal. Psychiatrists do not draw blood to determine the presence of a biochemical imbalance in patients.

    Bad past/putdowns,rejection/father gone lets other things start. Anorexia, cutting, OCD, anxiety, panic attacks, hearing voices, psychic dreams can all come from a tramautic past and verbal abuse. Its opens doors to the negative and they start to dwell closeby. They have problems not you. Its the hurting mean people that have caused your sadness. You are just reacting to it and having emotions. God allows emotions and docs try to cover it up.

    Mens counseling is folly to Gods ways.

    1. Read "Emotional abuse" websites see how people think. Read about 40.
    2. Google "Deliverance Prayers"- stops sadness.
    3. Google "Sinners Prayers"- makes a path to God
    4. Google sites about "Bullying".
