My doctor says that anti depressants work just as well for anxiety. I had xanax once during a hospital stay, but to be honest I felt like I couldn't function on it.
Now, I have anxiety and depression but prozac calms me down during my anxiety attacks, as does saphris, an anti psychotic. Just because something is marketed for one thing doesn't mean it can't have other uses (Another example-I take Depakote for seizures but it doubles as a mood stabilizer).
Maybe increase your dosages? I take 200 mg Prozac. Then perhaps ask about Saphris. If you don't mind going to sleep when you're anxious, sleeping medication may work, as PRN.
