Any suggestions?
I'm thinking Effexor 150 mg or Phenelzine??

IME that is like asking what is the best stimulant for sleep.
Maybe for you (and no doubt many others), but in general "antidepressants" are more effective for anxiety than depression.
SNR said:Statistic wise, sertraline (zoloft) was the most effective AD for panic and anxiety disorders. It sure as hell works well for me. Again, everyone is different. Escitalopram (Lexapro) worked well, sadly I couldn't pay for the brand name (Damn pharmaceutical companies). Paroxetine (Paxil) was insanely overly powerful, and made anxiety much worse. Citalopram (Celexa) was almost too mild to do anything.
I've said this before in other threads, but IMO anxiety is all in the head, thus must be treated as such. Using man-made drugs in order to "cure" this will only make it worse.
