First, thanks for letting me know the US names for Manerix (now I can do a search to find out what kind of med it is; that's what I'm wondering!)
As to suggestions for you, let's see ... you've already taken some of what I have, namely clonezapam, celexa, effexor, paxil and amytriptiline.
Therefore, I would recommend Zyprexa, which I've heard can help with anxiety and racing thoughts, etc. I'm currently taking it for sleep (along with Klonopin - so far, so good, hope it doesn't poop out before I get on the right sedating anti-depressant for sleep and depression). It is helping me somewhat with anxiety, but seems to be pooping out for that (then again, I'm on a very low dose).
I have not been bothered by any major side effects on Zyprexa, but again, I'm at a low dose.
The other thing that might help you would be a mood stabilizer, like Depakote, Lamictal, etc. These are classified as anti-convulsants/seizure meds, but have been found to work on anxiety, bipolarII, etc.
GOOD LUCK - keep us informed here!
