That's tough man, it does sound like it's causing her to suffer though for sure.

I'm just commenting from outside of the situation, as I'm not in your shoes OP..
But that sounds like complete bullshit having to put a dog down because of anxiety. I mean worst comes to worst they just can't prescribe it some heavy narcotics to chill out?
If you and your family can't handle the animal anymore I would look into trying to find another home before putting it to sleep. Maybe there is someone who can give it constant attention when it freaks out or something, I don't know. 
That's shitty.

It's up to my parents, not me. It's really their dog, but I've grown up with her.
But if it was purely my decision, it doesn't seem right. But it doesn't seem right to let her live. She's physically fine which is weird. But we've tried a lot of medications, behavior things, distracting her, etc. It's only getting worse.

She's on like 7 medications right now. Benzos, prozac, pain meds, other shit I don't even know. She's doped up. We thought maybe her being so out of it was hurting, so we reduced dosage. No change at all. We've increased dosages, no change.
Edit: it IS bullshit, I agree. That's why it's hard. That's such bullshit to put a dog down for mental issues.

I thought dogs live in the moment and most mental problems can be solved by therapy and training?

Also, when she freaks out sometimes we DO give her constant attention. It doesn't help. We've tried so many things. And it's not "when" she freaks out. It's getting to the point where she's freaking out constantly, without reason or any triggers. It's turning into just her default state of being is anxiety.

Don't waste money on the vet. It's called a shotgun and the backyard. I know I'l lget shit for this, but it's quick and cheap. Whether it is humane or not depends on you personally.

We've tried so many different approaches to training/behavior. We've hired dog trainers too.

Put her down man. It sounds like her quality of life is just really bad.

I'm not joking... He's considering killing his dog and kava kava not only relaxes people, but is linked to making those who drink it the happiest people on the planet. I would recommend adding kava tincture to this dogs water on a daily basis.

I hope this doesn't come across as distasteful but I wonder if weed would help OP's dog at all. I probably sound like an idiot.

It's probably the right thing to do. I just think it's kinda bullshit. Sorry to hear about your dog. 
Another thing that makes it hard is sometimes she's okay. She definitely spends the majority of her time freaking out, but she has times where she's okay and happy. Whenever we start to think about putting her down, she'll have a good night which makes it hard. Then she'll go back to freaking out.
