It is my underestanding that it can take months for SSRIs to have their full effect. Though I think you should have some sense of whether or not it's helping in several weeks. It must feel like an eternity given the way you are feeling.
I take 45mgs of Remeron at night for sleep. It really knocks me out BUT 2 pdocs have told me that I should titrate off of it because they believe it is inducing anxiety. I think it's worth exploring with your pdoc.
Have you ever tried Neurontin (gabapentin) for anxiety? I take modafinil every day but I take 300mgs of gabapentin with it to take the anxious edge of. You might think about trying Neurtonin for your anxiety. It works better than clonazepam for me.
Hope this helps.
