paxil is the only ssri that works for my anxiety. All the other ones helped but paxil is the only one that completely cured all of my anxiety and phobias, generalized anxiety etc. I think this is because paxil is the only ssri that has noradrenaline reuptake and anti-cholinergic properites as well as more potent serotonergic properties. Hydroxyzine is an antihistamine/anticholinergic approved for the treatment of anxiety. This probably explains that the anticholinergic properties of paxil is why it cures all my anxiety. If Hydroxyzine is approved for anxiety then how come bendryl is not? Benadryl has the same action as Hydroxyzine.
