I have extreme anxiety disorder, just like you've described. I used anafranil (clomipramine) a TCA that completely kept it under control. I didn't even need to use benzodiazapines with it.
I felt so good earlier this summer that I went off it. It took about three or so months for the anxiety to return. Then I tried parnate which seemed to help with the anxiety but for some reason made my depression worse. So I've switched back to anafranil. I'm just now starting to feel better. It takes a few weeks to start working. According to my pdoc anafranil is the best AD for anxiety.
hope this helps,
Vince
