If it is any comfort, I think your experience with many drugs, none seem to help is the rule rather than the exception. I can only echo the reply by viridis....the SSRIs and wellbutrin really exacerbated my symptoms..to the point I very nearly "jumped out of my basket" as they say. Benzos have been my saving grace. No drug is for everyone, but if your anxiety,panic,etc are really extreme benzos can at least get you to a place where you can think again, regroup and ponder your options. I can't stress enough the importance of finding a psychiatrist that really understands anxiety/panic. Don't rely on your GP, that's what got me in so much trouble. It's a good idea to find a competent GP though that will work with you and your pdoc. After a long search, I've finally found one and it makes treatment alot easier. My old GP was opposed to everything my pdoc suggested. Well, as usual I've rambled on too long. Hang in there and know you aren't alone. All the best, worrier.
