Taken Lexapro, Paxil For Temper Issues And Anxiety. Help

Hi, I have been struggling with temper issues and anxiety for the past 2 years. My previous family Dr, has prescribed over 5 medications like lexepro, paxil, and several others. I would give them several months and nothing worked. I have tried herbal solutions and joined a gym trying to channel the frustration and anger I deal with everyday. I have been demoted at work because of my problem. I can not be in a crowd without feeling like I cant breath or think people are judging me. I have a new born on the way and I am also raising my children from another marriage. I cant set a good example for my kids when I cant walk into Walmart without wanting to beat someone because they are staring at me. Please help if you can. I am reaching out for help but cant get the help I need. I am tired of living life this way, I want to sleep a full night again.
