In reply to Anxiety + Major Depression...HELP!!!, posted by amyvalkyrja on August 1, 2008, at 6:14:24
Sorry about your situation. I can really empathize. I have almost all the anxiety disorders meshed into one too. A real pain.
Anyway, coincidentally, I'm currently taking 1mg of generic Klonopin (doesn't seem to do much) and 30mg generic Prozac. I've been on the Prozac for a couple of weeks. If anything, it's decreasing the anxiety, but only slightly. The whole generic thing is irritating too. I took regular Prozac eight years ago and it seemed to be stronger. But maybe my anxiety disorders are just worse now.
I also had luck with Celexa eight years ago for my anxiety disorder. It wasn't perfect, but it definitely worked.
I know that Paxil and Remron are also reported to be good for anxiety symptoms, but then you get the dreaded weight gain factor.
I really hope you get the right SSRI to manage your symptoms. I'm right there with you. Hang in there. Hopefully, in time, you'll get the right drug or drug combo to deal with your situation.
