hi,steve,:)

if it hasn't worked by now, it's not going to..it doesn't have a long half-life like the SSRIs..it's supposed to take only 2 to 3 weeks to work..i would start tapering slowly down now, b/c you might be in for a bumpy ride due to discontinuation syndrome..

and i would pick a med that includes enhancement of dopamine or gaba or both..i don't believe serotonin or norepinephrine alone tend to be very helpful for anxiety..

an added note: i believe many depressives might need dopaminergic meds as well (as well as norepinephrene enhancement for energy)..but that is speculation on my part...i think serotonin may not play a very important role in mood, but more, perception..but that is just a theory..
