Damn. I sure feel for you. That is just aweful.
Not sure what to do. I would think that starting a different ssri or maybe effexor as soon as possible would be a realistic plan. Zoloft, paxil, or effexor? In the meantime, xanax can be your friend. You can always wean down the dosage later on after you are stable on something else.
Lots of stories of dependence (but then, what drug doesn't produce dependence?), and lots of stories of huge success compared to ssris and snris for anxiety and depression, but there is tramadol. I have had a bottle of it sitting here for a month and haven't tried it yet. Easy to get overnight delivery.
On that natural front, you could try taurine supplements. They seem to help benzos work better and provide a little mood boost too. Do 500mg and check it out. People usually take 500mg once a day to 3000mg in divided doses. It is calming similar to what benzos do, except without sedation, and taurine has other healthy bodily and brain functions. Can help in a pinch.
