> A lot of ssri,s work well with anxierty , but they take time. Months not weeks first they deal with the first function depression , so takeing benzos now an then between is ok. NEVER NEVER take other meds to deal with side effects there a trade of for feeling better, you carnt have both
Actually, my experience was that Paxil really eliminated my anxiety within about a week or less. It was a huge relief. It did take a few weeks for the full antidepressant effects to be realized.
Although it theory it would be nice not to have to take another med to counteract the side effects of another, I don't think it's that simple in real life. For example, if something is working extremely well for depression but is causing some anxiety, my personal philosophy is that it makes sense to add something to counteract the anxiety. Simplicity is a great goal, but if you find a combination that works well and helps you feel better with minimal side effects, then that's important.
