In reply to Antidepressant least likely to cause anxiety?, posted by Bean on December 7, 2005, at 9:08:02
Paxil is used alot for depression with anxiety, but of course it all depends....
If you have a sensitivity to the effects of antidepressants, I would take something in combination with an SSRI for your anxiety, like Klonopin or Buspar. This is what I did, and it was the only way that I was able to tolerate an SSRI (which I did need).
I know it seems strange to have to take a second med in order to be able to tolerate the first one. Unfortunately, Klonopin and Buspar alone are not so great for depression.
By the way, I also have a decongestant/caffeine sensitivity and what you say about the correlation with antidepressant sensitivity really makes sense.
Feel better,
