It was initially chosen because it was the most somnolescent of the SSRIs (with the SSRIs, I treat depression, not anxiety, they dont really do both for me, its one type of drug or the other). It had benefits but my doctor felt, and the newest SSNRI came onto the market as well, that duloxetine (Cymbalta) would be more helpful because as an SSNRI it would both still provide some SSRI-like activity and possibly make me more awake with the norephrinine reuptake.
