im so anti SSRI, doctors will flat out deny u with attitude if u suggest fast acting anxiety medicines (benzos), but if you name any SSRI or SNRI, u will have the script in ur hand and kicked with the black boot out the office, they say its not understood how these drugs work on the brain, yet the FDA approves it, all of a sudden warning commercials and recalls are out on SSRIs, i mean seriously, if a drug has to take "4-8" weeks to take effect , i dont believe in it. a anxiety drug, or any drug should have en effect as soon as absorbed. its all a crock a shit to me, i been on SSRIs, it was horrible, my behavior was better, but inside i felt chained off, and my god when i stopped Paxil, i went thru a 2 week withdrawl dizzy spell, it was horrible. it made me SSRI sensitive now, yuck!! stick with benzos AS NEEDED for anxiety, or klonopin DAILY, as its duration is 12hrs
