If you get brand Zoloft, I would give it 4 to 6 more weeks.
Lexapro is a great drug. It is possible your insurance might insist on you taking Celexa instead, I hope this isn't the case.
Sorry you are so sensitive to drugs, that definitely sucks, especially if the change in sensitivity came about in part because of Prozac.
I would look at Klonopin as a temporary treatment if I were you. For several reasons, mostly because it can become increasingly mind numbing(it was for me), klonopin is best to use periodically as needed or for a short period everyday.
What you want is to be on one drug, in your case either Zoloft or Lexapro, and for that one drug to treat your anxiety up to 50 or 70 percent. Then, you need to do other things like exercise, yoga, and meditation to try to treat the remaining 30 or 40 percent. You can also try more natural treatments/supplements to help treat some of your anxiety.
Personally, I would try to stay as low as .25 mg klonopin. This will make it much easier to get off of when you choose to do so.
