Talk to your cardiologist about Pamelor or Norpramin. They are tricyclics, but have the least effect on the heart (the Desyrel is also a tricyclic and you apparently haven't had any heart problems from that).
Luvox is another SSRI type that is FDA approved in this country only for OCD but is used in Europe for depression as well. It may help with the anxiety.
Remeron is another very good agent for anxious depression that helps with insomnia as well. Very few side effects other than weight gain, but if you are conscious of that from the beginning, most people can avoid overeating.
