A daily dose of 900 mg of Benfotiamine is a high therapeutic amount, while the typical supplemental dosage for Magnesium Glycinate ranges between 200 mg and 400 mg of elemental magnesium per day. Clinical trials have safely used up to 900 mg of Benfotiamine daily without serious toxicity, but standard over-the-counter options usually supply only 150 mg to 300 mg per capsule. These medication are not treatment for anxiety and adjuvant supplemental treatment. It does not cure anxiety.
Next Steps
consider changing Psychiatrist if it is being claimed that benfothiamine will cure anxiety.

All the medicines you have mentioned are supplements rather than the actual treatment for panic attacks. If you are already consulting a psychiatrist, it would be better to trust your psychiatrist’s assessment and follow the treatment plan prescribed by them.
Benfotiamine is on higher side.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist.
