Buspirone might be worth a try. It's not related to benzos or ADs/xxRIs; it's its own class. I have little to no side effects taking this, it works, and it definitely does not make you sleepy, destroy your sex drive, or cause weight gain like many of the SSRIs. Doctors have told me most patients experience little to no side effects from it.
I was prescribed SSRIs for anxiety/panic attacks for the last 3 years and they made me feel horrible. Now I take the Buspirone with Wellbutrin and am much better off.
