Pete,
I would seriously consider Zyprexa (Olanzapine?) as a good option for you. It can be seedating for a week or two but you kind of grow out of that. I've never heard of anyone say that it causes more anxiety. It has good AD qualities also and there have been recent studies that suggest that it forms a very strong combination with SSRI's that go beyond just mono-therapy.
I take it with a TCA and have been able to give up Klonopin because my GAD has been so greatly reduced. If you try it you will probably notice a difference within a week to 10 days. It's worth a trial if you aren't going to try a Benzo.
