This may have no relationship to what you are experiencing at all, but I believe it is worth mentioning.

I too feel treatment resistant, especially in terms of my depressive ruminating anxiety with respect to all of the drugs in the benzo and SSRI/SNRI/S-whatever-whatever-I class. My anxiety is fairly unrelenting, especially in terms of feeling I can take care of myself. I am easily overwhelmed by the normal stresses of life.

Another thing I have noticed is that ever since most of the SSRI drugs went generic, I have almost no benefit and no side effects when I take them. I took name brand Prozac, Luvox, Wellbutrin, and Celexa in the late 90s and they all gave me substantial (medium grade) anxiety/depression relief, but with clear side effects. When I those drugs again in the mid-late 2000s, after they had been generi-cized, I got little/no benefit and almost no side effects. It just makes me ponder, no matter what the pharmaceutical industry and psychiatry says, if some generic drugs are not the same as their name brand counterparts. I don't know. Just thinking out loud.
