[QUOTE="Tn198989, post: 234273, member: 42625"] Hey there, So I've been on and off ssri's for the last 13 years. I would advise against a the use of benzos if possible. They are far worse than ssri's. SSRIs do work for both anxiety and depression. If I didn't take them I wouldn't be able to function. If you find the one that works for you you will feel a lot better. Boosted confidence, more outgoing, less anxiety etc. They never stopped working for me. Still work like when they kicked in. Libido drop, delayed ejaculation are all included in the package though. And they will probably last for as long as you take the medication. Some of them will cause weight gain. I am on prozac and it doesn't for me plus it's being prescribed to combat bulimia. If you have anxiety and/or OCD then wellbutrin is a no go. I tried it in the past due the weight and libido neutral thing and it gave so much anxiety that I went psychotic. Thank god the psychosis was temporary. I was literally insane for a couple of months. I was taking mitrazapine a long time ago and I was also taking zoloft so I can't comment on the mental effects but half hour after you take it, you get biggest food cravings you can imagine so you will definitely gain weight on it. For me it was too sedating too and I was tired throughout the day. If you have been suffering for 20years you will feel like a new man. Talk to a doctor of course but I am telling you all this cause many doctors will tell you that the weight gain is minimal or that the libido effect will go away. Bullshit There are also calming ssris and energizing ones. Let the doc know what you are looking for and hopefully you won't need paxil. It's the strongest ssri and it has the worst weight and libido side effects, along with an even worse withdrawal. If only I could find a way to fix the libido issues on prozac I would be a happy man [/QUOTE]
