This guy is obviously inept if not an out-and-out sadist, first by saying there's nothing that can help, secondly by not prescribing an anxiolytic. What an idiot. It's like he set you up for suicidality. It sounds like malpractice.
Please don't give up! Psychopharmacology is rather hit-or-miss, but until you have taken every possible drug in every possible combination, there's no way to tell what will work or not. The additive experiences of people on this board are probably greater than Dr. EyeCandy's. Cymbalta just came out, and there are also non-drug treatments such as rTMS and ECT.
I found that small doses of Zyprexa helped my anxiety more than benzos. It sedated me the first couple of days, and even though I've gained weight, I had started gaining before I took it.
