I have GAD too. I originally tried Celexa which worked very well at first for the constant worrying thoughts, but lethargy and sexual side effects became too much. I would recommend Klonopin...lots of people here use it with success. It calms and somehow makes you more socially at ease. At first, I found it is a bit sedating, and that after a week on 1mg per day, my energy level plummetted. However, 5 weeks later,the low energy/sedation effect is gone, and I'm left with the anxiolytic effect only. It may not help with the thoughts tho'. Xanax (another benzo) helps with depression. Just a suggestion. Goood luck!

P.S. Because I was complaining of low energy at my last PDoc visit, he has put me on BuSpar, and I'm tapering off Klonopin. However, a lot of people (like you) seem to have found it ineffective, so I'm definitely going back on Klonopin, if it doesn't work!!!
