The drug didn't do much, I sort of learned to live with the symptoms.

Do you also have panic attacks?
You might respond to Effexor (venlafaxine).
If you find yourself being resistant to treatment with SSRIs or SNRIs, you might then consider trying:
1. Anafranil (clomipramine): tricyclic
2. Nardil (phenelzine): MAOI
Both drugs are effective in treating depression, GAD, OCD, and panic disorder (with or without agoraphobia).
I would still look into trying Effexor or some other SNRI first. Effexor has been well studied for panic disorder and agoraphobia.
