It's like all 'bullits' (nasty remarks, ignorance) go straight for the heart... Would there be medication warding this off?? Even if it's only a little...

I would really suggest going the therapy way -- you might have some PTSD from all of this, but you're on quite a load of very sleepy medications.I'm curious why the Seroquel is so high if its purely for this -- that doesn't seem necessary unless you have a powerful anxiety disorder with psychosis features or some other such offlabel condition.
Ultimately, by exploring the source of all of this psychologically you may find much more than in a set of pills -- not that I'm saying you might not need something for anxiety because I'm sensing some panic from this perhaps.
Its contrite, but there isn't a pill for every psychological scenario -- unfortunately I know that insurance doesn't pay for what should be the case, therapy sessions.
Just my take
