> > One more thing--how long have you been taking it and at what dose? You may just need to give it a few more weeks to get the total effect. Are you having lots of anxiety right now? Have you ever used SSRI's before? If not, I would definitely say to stay on it for a bit and see if your opinion changes.

> thanks for the info. ive only been on it a week (15mgs) so ill definitely wait. just wasnt sure if SSRIs really are all that good for anxiety. until it kicks in doc gave me klonopin which does wonders for anxiety and ive noticed a number of other very beneficial side effects.

It was only a year ago that I had to begin raising the dose. And then it just kind of pooped out on me. Or at least I think that's what happened.
