In reply to Clomipramine v SSRIs for anxiety disorders..., posted by jms600 on October 30, 2008, at 17:47:30
Tried Seroxat/Paxil a few years back. On it's own it helped a bit, but when I took it with Stelazine it seemed to really do wonders! I spoke to my doctor about withdrawing it as I thought I was better, however, when I lowered the dose my anxiety came flooding back. My doctor told me to go back on the previous dose but it just didn't seem to help the second time around.
I suffered really badly with the drug's side effects and also found it almost impossible to come off (when I came off it for the second time), even though I gradually withdrew the drug slowly. It's a horrible drug and I wouldn't want to go back on it ever!
I've also tried Cipralex/Lexapro - worked for a few months and then I experienced the dreaded 'poop out'!
