Doctor, can reducing the physical symptoms of anxiety also help reduce psychological anxiety or fear?

31. Male. 5'5".77 kg. Taking invega sustenna 150 mg monthly depot since June 2024 and taloprex since last week. My doctor says invega works region specific and won't affect dopamine activity in regions like prefrontal cortex. But AI says it blocks dopamine throughout the brain. Who is correct?

I am facing certain issues mentally which is difficult to explain and just want some guidance to help me moving with the life

I would like to explain my history before we decide on treatment. In 2024, one of my close friends died from a sudden cardiac arrest in front of me. After witnessing it, I had a severe panic episode, blanked out, couldn't speak properly, couldn't eat, and had intense anxiety. My family doctor prescribed Alprax 0.5 mg before meals, which helped me recover. Unfortunately, after 4–5 months, my family doctor passed away, and I continued Alprax on my own. Now I want to stop it safely. I have consulted a few psychiatrists who prescribed Diazepam or Tryptomer but advised me to stop Alprax suddenly. Every time I tried, I developed severe rebound anxiety, insomnia, loss of appetite, and worsening symptoms. I am not asking to stay on Alprax permanently. My only request is a gradual, supervised taper, with any long-term medicine you feel is appropriate, so I can discontinue Alprax safely without severe withdrawal or rebound symptoms

The doctor added Risperidone 0.5 with nexito 30 mg. After taking it, my speech became slurred. When I spoke to the doctor, he said it was a side effect and stopped the medication. How long will it take for my speech to return to normal? It's been 8 days since I stopped taking it. Sometimes it gets better and sometimes it becomes slurred. Please reply
