Since you have PTSD : & an anxiety disorder, it is likely that adding appropriate medications to your Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for anxiety& psychotherapy for PTSD will be beneficial.

Seek medical check-up from your primary physician + any baseline lab studies needed, depending on the medication & referral to a psychiatrist.
