Try the Lamictal or Lithium first. It may very well help your anxiety.
Have you tried an antipsychotic as well? And combining an antipsychotic with a mood stabalizer and/or SSRI often helps one another be more effective. One pill at a time approaches rarely work in the field.
But nevertheless, try the Lamictal first. You may not have bipolar, but you may respond to its antidepressant/antianxiety effects anyhow. It's worth a shot. Give it some time, and a few months down the road after exausting antipsychotics and, um, did you try Klonopin??? then MAOIs may be an option for you. But one thing at a time! =)
