Yes: Viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride) is a new class of antidepressant. I have found it useful for anxiety as well as depression. It has different side effects than the others so might benefit people who didn't tolerate others well. No weight gain and maybe less sexual dysfunction, but can cause a lot of nausea and diarrhea and must be taken with food.

Viibryd: Viibryd is FDA approved for treatment of Major Depressive Disorder. It can be effective for treatment of anxiety symptoms. I am only to get patients covered (payment wise ) at the military facility I work at, if they have failed other medications for treatment of depression. So I am not able to prescribe it specifically for anxiety and have the full cost covered. But, it can help with anxiety.
