Hi!
Sorry to hear about the rough time you are having. I have had anxiety like this, and I had success with buspar and an ssri (zoloft) together. I had the same reaction you did to buspar alone. It's useless with panic, but good for certain kinds of anxiety. And with zoloft, I don't experience the buspar drowsiness like I used to.
If cost is an issue, see if you can try a cheaper ssri. Tell your doc that effexor is too expensive and you want something else.
Once you start to get the anxiety under control, you will be able to think about a job and all the other things you described. It's hard to do anything when the anxiety runs loose like that.
Feel better,
jflange
