I suffer from anxiety too, and had no luck with SSRI's. Your doctor is right that they probably wont work for you if you have tried that many. It must be something to do with brain chemistry, but SSRI's seem to make bad anxiety worse. I found they made me manic some days and totally on edge other days. I am now taking amitriptyline, TCA, it helps me sleep at night, whereas when I was on SSRI I'd be awake till very late, and have bad sleep. It has been better than SSRI's so far. They can be dangerous if you OD on them but so can all meds. I think its probably the one your doctor will put you on if you are in the uk(like me) Maybe you could discuss it with him.
