Any thoughts on using an antidepressant if you’re not depressed? Just severe anxiety.

Ugh just ugh. That level of chronic anxiety is truly crippling
I am so sorry your struggling. I think it is a good idea to give an AD a try.
Years ago my husband was taking Xanax and our doctor wanted him to taper off ... so he started him on Trazadone at night and upped his Gabapentin for neuropathy but it’s also given for anxiety more and more the last few years.. I dunno if you have ever tried it ... it really helped his anxiety around the clock.
I’m always around if you want to talk
