> Prozac is likely to cause anxiety at first because it actually agonises serotonin at one of the receptors and blocks the reuptake of it, this is why Prozac (along with Zoloft but for other reasons) has the worst potential for anxiety related issues at start up of the SRRIs.
I was prescribed Zoloft for anxiety, and it immediately caused my mind to race and terrible panic attacks. Prozac also made me so anxious, I could barely leave the house or drive. I couldn't stay on either for more than 1 week, though I often wonder whether, if I had stuck it out, they would have been effective for me.
Remeron has not cause those side effects. Your hypothesis may explain that.
