i think a tricylclic is a bad call; they're not that great for anxiety. MAOIs, however, are; my first choice would be Parnate, maybe plus an as-needed benzo, then the EMSAM patch (again, with an as-needed tranquilizer for at least a little while) and then Nardil.
Sometimes upper/downer combos work. For example: Klonopin is good for social phobia, and sometimes adding Wellbutrin, Provigil, or low-dose Ritalin helps alot, too. I would think clonazepam would be better than lorazepam if there's a need for day-long sedation; most of the dose can be taken at nite.
