You may be going through zyprexa withdrawl, or perhaps doxepin is increasing anxiety. Sometimes TCA's can increase anxiety, especially in the higher doses.
If you are just using doxapin for sleep, you may want to stick to a lower dose. If you can get some benzodiazapines for the acute anxiety attacks I would do so.
You may want to start a low dose of zyprexa again.
What other agents have you tried for anxiety?
Don't end it. If you are feeling this way go to the hospital. Tell them you are having major panic attacks accompanied by suicidiality.
You shouldn't have to handle this stuff totally alone.
