> Thanks for the advice Mitch. If I do switch to one of the more activating SSRI's, will this aggravate my anxiety? It is still pretty intense on most days and I take ativan as needed. I don't know which is worse, to feel anxious or numb.
I know what you mean by that last statement. I really liked Prozac. There were just a few things that it did to me so severely that I couldn't handle taking it any longer (after seven years)-diarrhea (several times a day), acid reflux at night, and insomnia (broken sleep). If it were not for those adverse events, I would gladly take it. It was a little "buzzy" and "activating" compared to the others, but I really felt well in my head at least while I was taking it (during the daytime).Mitch
