I'm thinking of fluoxetine for primarily anxiety, if it help with my depression it's a plus. Does anyone take fluoxetine nowadays? Zoloft does nothing for my anxiety, it's really +/-0, strong noradrenergic agents does, like milnacipran and reboxetine. But they don't help completely plus they have some hard to tolerate side effects, like rapid heart beat, high blood pressure, muscle weakness (can't exercise). I'm thinking that fluoxetine is somewhere in between a pure SSRI like escitalopram and the SNRIs and NRIs.
Do you think fluoxetine is more likely to help than escitalopram? Fluoxetine was the first med I took for panic disorder, but it's ages ago, can't really recall how effective it was./Mattias
