In reply to Prozac and anxiety, posted by KarenRB53 on September 27, 2004, at 7:41:21
> Does anyone know the best medication to take with Prozac for anxiety? I've tried all the other SSRI's and only Prozac works for my depression, however, it causes me to be anxious and agitated. I take Ativan but I wondered if there was something that could be taken with Prozac that would last all day instead of having to take the Ativan several times during the day. Karen

>Hi Karen,
I like 5-HT2A antagonists for my anxiety, only problem is that a lot of people gain weight on them. Drugs that are 5-HT2A antagonists are most of the antipsychotics, most of the old TCA antidepressants, Trazodone & Remeron. If weight gain is a problem I would try Trazodone or Nortriptyline.
Cheers,
Paul.
