So they concluded that it is anxiety?  Or they just don't know what's causing your breathing problem?
Tranquilizers don't work at all?  What problems did you have with antidepressants?
I react very badly to SSRI's..but have been helped by others.
If you don't already see a psychiatrist I would urge you to do so.
Get a referral from your doctor.
Good luck.

Discuss these symptoms with your doctor.  It may be side effects of medication, or allergies.
or It may be anxiety where breathlessness is a common symptom.
Let your doc help yo figure it out.
Good luck
