I don't have much to offer, but I do know what you are going through. My first depression was very much "pani-sad". For me, when anxiety gets way too out of control, I get very, very depressed.
What helped me when I had my first depression, and kept me in a very productive remission for about 6 years, was a combination of Paxil and Xanax (which Blueberry has spoken about). Paxil completely destroyed the panic/anxiety/constant worry and the Xanax did also. Xanax still to this day can pull me out of an anxious funk better than anything really. I was an idiot and stopped the Paxil and when I tried it again, it didn't work for me. I am on Lexapro now, with Xanax as needed, and it seems to be working. It has only been 12 days, but, so far so good.
Good luck to you. I hope you find something that helps. Pani-sad is horrendous.
