Low dose SSRI for anxiety?

Posted by Franz on July 21, 2005, at 16:09:29

Hello,

I want to avoid long term use of benzodiazepines for anxiety.

The problem I have with SSRIs is that at antidepressant doses I do not get much antidepressant effect but they are sedating.

I would like to know if someone knows if it is possible to use a SSRI but at a lower dose to help with anxiety but not get a sedating effect.

I have tried Zoloft and Effexor and the last gave me the less side effects. Any other is better for what I want?.

What about low dose SSRI plus some 5HTP?.

Thanks
