SSRI for anxiety?

Has anyone had success with this instead of pregab or benzos?

Yeah I take an SSRI for anxiety. Works ok I think. Things is I am also on pregabalin.

Tbh, for me, neither is as effective as propranolol

Simply?

No.

Benzos are the only thing that has ever remotely got my anxiety in check.

And I mean they’re only keeping me sane.

Not super helping me be calm.

I’m a couple of years off of an SSRI.

Its not worth it. I’m doing better off without it.

Everyone’s different though.

I tried like nine different ones over the years. The only one that remotely helped was paxil cr.

Citalopram helped my anxiety well and I think mirtazapine too because I’m off the citalopram and mirtazapine seems to still help

I don’t take an SSRI for anxiety. I take Buspirone. It really does help.
