SSRI's like prozac can make some people more edgey and jumpy, a certain percentage of peolpe can get quite manic on them and then there's been all that stuff in California. A psychiatrist differentiation of whether your depressed or have a generalised panic disorder is not much different from what you would pick up intuitively looking at say a friend but all the pointers are paraphrased into medical lingo-low affect, anhedonia etc they give credence to the 'diagnosis'. Buspar is not a benzo either so my reference to them wasn't apt, its mechanism isn't certain. Being psycho analytical again from your brief story looks like your fearing rejection/abandonment in certain situations, why the possibilty of rejection in those circumstances is so significant to you to induce such anxiety is probably worth exploring.
