Polly,
From the symptons you describe, Klonopin would help you immediately. It doesn't have any bizarre side effects, it won't make you gain weight or kill your sex drive. About 45 minutes after taking it, you'll just feel very mellow and calm. You want to start off with a small dose, like half a mg. It can make you very sleepy when you begin to take it, so make sure you're in a setting where you could just comfortably go to sleep for awhile. After a week or so the "high buzz" feeling goes away and you'll just feel very relaxed from it. It does wonders for anxiety and the effects are immediate. After a few weeks you can figure out what dose is right for you by seeing how much you need to take that makes you feel relaxed but doesn't put you to sleep. Female doctors tend to be extremely anal about prescribing it or any of the medications in the family it belongs to, so your best bet is a male doctor.
