I've heard some say Zyprexa was good for curbing anxiety, but perhaps not everyone. If you haven't tried it already, I second the Seroquel recommendation. I prefer Seroquel XR for moodstabilization purposes, which is long since available as a generic. I also think BethRag's suggestion Trilafon (perphanazine) is also worth a try. I found great improvement on Trilafon in many respects, but likely went off of it prematurely (long story). Seroquel has been just as good for me as a benzo. In fact, though I do still have Ativan as a PRN for "extra" anxiety (and it works well for that), I have taken small dose Seroquel iR (regular type) for PRN anxiety, when my Ativan wasn't available. It also worked well. Maybe a low dose Seroquel iR could be used just for anxiety rather than switching to it in higher doses? Certainly the adjustment to low dose Seroquel can take a bit of time, as it can be sedating, but once used to it, the sedation effect eases. I actually take Seroquel in the morning and it doesn't make me tired at all anymore. Seroquel at night, however, does aid with my sleep.
