Any medication to help "weaken" emotions?

I seem to have strong emotions about EVERYTHING. No matter what. I have high anger, say I accidently drop something that isn't even of importance, like a chip... I'll get super angry and want to punch something. Then when some little thing happens like I pill off a hangnail and it starts to slightly bleed ill get super depressed and have to hold back tears and one text from a friend that has slightly no meaning to it will make me extremly happy and giddy. I just need something that will help weaken my emotions. I was only diagnosed with Anxiety but I didn't go to my psychologist more than 1 time because my family can't afford it. So my family doctor has put me on prostiq, prosac, and now wellbutrin and none of these have helped me at all.... is there a medication I could possible ask my doctor if I can try out?

    Not having emotions is equally problematic as having strong ones. To need anger management therapy to learn how to control them, not pills that can be potentially harmful andante them dead. Some will make you so emotionless that you stop caring at all about everything. I have seen this lead to suicidal behavior. Am a junior psychologist, and we always try to find ways to talk people through their problems without using pills. Go see someone please!

    Emotions are part of the spirit, so I doubt it
