In reply to Zoloft increasing anxiety?, posted by becksA on June 21, 2004, at 15:29:59
Zoloft for me increased my anxiety and never got better. I was actually afraid to walk into work a couple of times. My doctor warned me and said that he rarely gives Zoloft to people with anxiety. Lexapro had the similar effect with me, although Celexa did not at all, go figure.
Paxil is about the only SSRI that worked wonders for me for anxiety, unfortunatily because of sexual side effects I chose to drop it, or loose my girlfriend.
I've dropped SSRI's for now and am on Keppra and adding slowly Lamictal. The Keppra has been good so far with anxiety and the Lamictal will hopefully help with the mild depression, and no sexual side effects!
