Maybe ask your doc for a trial of doxepin - it is a tricyclic that has pronounced anti anxiety efects.
If can cause sedation/make you drowsy, but you get tolorant to this effect..... best way is to start low, say 25mg at night, and slowly increase to an effective dose, maybe 75mg-150mg at night.
I think a benzo such as lorazepam, diazepam etc is still the gold standard for anxiety, but if you cant use benzos, doxepin would be well worth a try.
Remeron would also be worth a mention, starting at 15mg at night for 2 nights, then 30mg at night.
