Have you tried any of the antidepressants? SSRIs can be very good for anxiety, and Remeron is helpful for some people, too. EMSAM, the transdermal MAOI, is also supposed to be great for anxiety.
Of course, what do I know: if a medication works on my anxiety, it invariably increases my depression. Except SSRIs, but they're basically apathy pills for me -- hard to be anxious when I can't much feel as though anything's all that important to me...
For what it's worth, Buspar was actually pretty great for my anxiety. It did, alas, increase depression, but it was probably the best I've ever taken for the anxiety.
Good luck.
