In reply to Has anybody failed an SSRI,and did well w another?, posted by nickguy on June 1, 2006, at 21:25:02
Paxil worked wonderfully for me, but the weight gain and sexual dysfunction caused me to have to get off of it. Celexa pooped out on me. I'm on Prozac now, and it's the first SSRI that just hasn't done anything good for me. I'm having to take klonopin everyday, and in my opinion, that means the prozac doesn't work. So different SSRIs do indeed do different things. I'm about to call my doc and ask to try Zoloft (since prozac isn't even approved for anxiety disorder!!!) because this prozac just ain't happenin' for me. There are similarities in some SSRIs, so like, if Prozac doesn't work, then it is likely that Luvox won't work either. Wikipedia actually has some awesome information that allows a person to compare and contrast the SSRIs.

Hope that is helpful!

> I've tried paxil and lexapro with no results. Not even side effects. My doctor wants to try zoloft before going to other options. Is this worth a shot in anybody's opinion. He says that a lot of people out there say if you've tried one SSRI, you've tried them all, but that that's not true.
