Medication effects: I understand your distress. Thank you for informing about Graves' disease, and use of Arava; both of them can cause Anxiety. Arava can also cause Depression and insomnia. See Psychiatrist for Diagnosis of Psychosis, depression and anxiety, Medication benefits and side effects, decreasing dose of Haldol, (haloperidol) attending Day Treatment Center for monitoring of dose and Therapy for stress in your life.
