Clomipramine worked well for me.

Zoloft (@ 50 mg./day).
I would say Celexa comes in 2nd from my past experiences.
For me, Effexor XR and Wellbutrin both exacerbated anxiety.

Paxil worked great for me when I was on it. It even helped me overcome interview anxiety and the anxiety I used to experience when I had to speak in a meeting. I am still trying to find something that will work as well for me as Paxil did (since it didn't work when I tried it again a couple of years after going off it).

> Thanks sgirlI recommend either Paxil, Luvox or Remeron. Remeron is strongest, but can give weight gain. But very good.

While it worked, zoloft at 150mgs was a godsend...Paxil at 30 helped a whole lot, too. unfortunately, both of these stopped working after a while...it happens.

Celexa and probably Nortriptyline

My best would have to be Celexa.
Celexa has been the best out of Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Luvox, Wellbutrin SR, Effexor XR, Anafranil, Serzone, and Remeron.

In reply to Zoloft - A+ effectiveness -- bad side effects... (nm), posted by mattw84 on November 12, 2004, at 14:58:50
I hear zoloft was awful if you had anxiety. I'm trying it & not noticing bad side effects.
comments?

> Thanks sgirlZoloft gets my vote, although I can only compare it with Prozac, Wellbutrin, and now Cymbalta. I'm actually thinking of going back on it as I'm still on the fence about Cymbalta (60mg/day at 7 weeks).
But the biggest difference for me, by far, was giving up alcohol and going into recovery.

Amitriptyline is good, but it's very hard to take at full AD doseages. I am using some Amitrip & some Effexor.
Cheers,
