What is your history on medication?
I'm going on 13 years battling OCD and the anxiety it cultivates. In the beginning, my psychiatrist and I set out to find an AD that would be the first line of defense. After going through Luvox,Lexapro, and Pristiq, we found Clomipramine-later we would discover Mirtazapine and Viibryd also treated my anxiety. The point is
an AD should treat your anxiety, while something like Buspar would be a valuable augmenter. Buspar is not rendered inneffectual by benzos, the two have very distinct methods of action. Benzos are a bad way to treat GAD because of their side effects and rebound anxiety.Eric
ps. which SSRI are you starting up?
