As barbiturates go, phenobarbtial is probably among the safest. It is also probably the most unpleasant.
Barbs are still used, but usually its in the form of like a 1-week seconal RX for hardcore insomniacs; barbiturates for anxiety are probably ill-advised.
Benzos are actually a lot like barbs, only non-toxic; you might want to try upping the dose, trying another benzo, or perhaps trying a 2-benzo combo (ex: Klonopin, ativan for flare-ups as-needed). Or...Benzos plus Buspar, Benzos plus low-dose antipsychotic (not my favorite, but an option nonetheless), benzos plus antidepressants... so on and so forth.
