It is my impression that the SSRIs are more prone to poop-out than are other types of antidepressants. Paroxetine (Paxil) might be the most problematic. I can't be sure, though. When paroxetine works, it can be magical. It is great for both depression and anxiety disorders. I do wonder, though, if it might not set one up for treatment-reisistence - a sort of cross-tolerance. I think most doctors go with Lexapro as a first choice. I like the idea of going with Pristiq as a second choice. I can afford to be wrong, though. I'm not a doctor.
