I would think doxapin, elavil or clomipramine would be better than imipramine for GAD. These two have antagonist effect at 5-ht2a/c, 5-ht3 which imipramine does not have. I think imipramine is the most studied in this regard but that does not necessarily equate to efficacy.
If sleep disturbance and/or GI problems are prominant, this might be another reason to choose elavil or doxapin which have antihistamine effects too.
