This sounds very interesting.Because I had panic, ocd(primary) and social anxiety.Now,he,my psy- doc prescribed Paxil,starting at 10mg,then 20, but I still had no relief until I hit 30mg.30 was the magic bullet.It eliminated all anxiety and associated depression.The only thing I can think of as to why it helped is that at this mg dosage it created enough serotonin to finally override excess ne and dopamine to provide a calming balanced effect.I have tried diferent ssri drugs including celexa,effexor (2 weeks), and lexapro and never had the same balancing effect.I haven't tried it, but I think Zoloft would probably have the same effect.Also I noticed when reading about celexa and lexapro,they have no anti-cholinergic(spelling?)effects,thus not as effecive as the the ones such as Paxil,maybe Prozac and Zoloft have.The reason I say this is that,one study I've seen regarding natural supplements to overcome ocd,is avoiding excess choline,or avoiding it all together.
