> Have you given the SSRIs a fair trial run?
I've done Celexa and Paxil, both for a significant amount of time and both up to the highest dosages. Unfortunately, they've basically done nothing for me. I'm jealous of people that they help so much, including my older sister who had great success with Paxil for her anxiety. But she eventually went off of it due to weight gain. It's strange though, Paxil didn't really make me gain weight. But it also didn't work. Anyways... my doctor doesn't really think that there's much reason to try another SSRI since those two haven't helped me even one little bit, for depression, anxiety, or anything.
