> I couldn't tolerate it beyond 3-4 weeks. My main symptoms have to do with general free-floating anxiety, and I felt that drug is antithesis drug for anxiety. Even though, I've heard it's the "gold standard" SSRI for anxiety, which is why I gave it two chances to work, but no dice. The stuff makes me feel disconnected and on edge even more without it.

My Pdoc added to the lamictal that has helped me so much. I couldn't get over the hump completely and we decided that trying this was worth a shot.
I've been on it 3 weeks. It has helped the depression some but it has affected my sex life. And that creates the vicious cycle of the depression is better and the sex life has gone out of town.
