Suggest Best Medication For Anxiety Disorder And Bipolar Depression

hi. I suffer with anxiety disorder, ptsd, and bipolor depression. I would like some suggestions on some medications that I can talk over with my psych dr. Currently I am taking effectsor and depecote which is not helping me much. I know there are many more drugs out there that may help. I will go in for hospitalization in two weeks, and want to research what is available. So before I go into the hospital, I would like a list of medications and side effects to talk to my dr with. Can you help?
