The three drugs that you mentioned are all antidepressants, not anxiolytics. It is possible that they could help with your anxiety as well, but that is not their labeled use.
I am antidepressant treatment resistant. So I will never take another antidepressant again. For me, the side effects are unbearable compared to the extremely limited benefits.
However, for my anxiety, I am currently on clonazepam, 1 mg three times a day, and I find it to be very effective. I have been on quite a few anxiolytics over the past two decades, and I find that clonazepam is the most effective one for me at this time.
I'm sorry I was probably not much help, but I do hope that someone else can better assist you.
Best of luck always.
