Does anyone know whether SSRI’s are good for treating severe anxiety? I feel like my anxiety is getting worse since being on an SSRI for 8 weeks. Should I hang in there? Or are other types of drugs better for anxiety?

Hey @Bonita, tonight we are sharing experiences and will get to tips on how to manage side effects. Unfortunately we cannot offer medical advice, its really important to bring those questions to your doctor or MH professional, they can help answer any thoughts or concerns you are having. Hope this helps!
