There are long-term effects to meds and your illness can also progress and intensify. Its hard to say which is which.
If you have severe anxiety like that I would investigate some of the other AAP's. Small doses of seoquel only act like an antihistamine. You really dont want to rely on benzos unless you cant avoid it. Sounds like quitting effexor was bad enough.
topamax increases your sensitivity to your own GABA, might be worth a try. It may also help with weight gain, blood pressure and blood sugar control issues that some AAPs can have.
Most TCAs enhance norepinephrine as well as serotonin. That may be a sensitive spot for you with panic.
Ever tried blood pressure meds like prazosin or clonidine? Might be worth a shot too.
