Hi,
I'm sorry that you have been through a lot of issues especially due to wrong diagnosis. Please do stop any psych meds. Please attempt to take these medicines which are available without prescription namely muscle relaxants like tizanidine and phenergan syrup. I also feel that you should increase the dose of larpose, nightly. Don't worry. You'll be fine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Neel Kudchadkar, General & Family Physician
