What is good daily med that only treats anxiety and depression?

Thankyou for your response. My leg cramps have disappeared and I’m beginning to feel better on Prozac.
In researching the Paxil, leg muscle tightening was a side effect. I did experience the SSRI syndrome, not fun. I believe I’m on the right track. I have more energy and less fatigue. I will continue with what my goal is. That goal is to get off Paxil and into Prozac.
I hope this helps

Thanks Elisa, much appreciated!

The connection between Paxil and leg cramping is new to me, so thanks for pointing that out Mary Jean.

I've been taking Paxil since 2002 and all is good. I have experienced some uncomfortable days when I got to 20mg/day. I'm back to my regular, 40mg/day dose. My night leg cramps have been helped a lot by stretching my lower back and thereby easing sone spot pressure on my sciatic nerve.

I take Remeron and Ativan.

@heyjoe415 I have found Lexapro to be a good one. I had a bad time with buspar and tried Zoloft x3 months and had terrible side effects. Good luck

Wellbutrin. I just switched to Prozac because I w been obsessing about a close relationship and why are we estranged. On Prozac 60 mg and will maybe go to 80mg. This is the medication that got me through my divorce. Unfortunately, it does not treat anxiety. Maybe a little. But it is more for motivation and depression.

I suspect u r not expecting what I've to say, but human connection does not only just not have any side effects, it is healing in more ways than we may ever know.
Here's what former Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy, has said: "We can be the medicine that each other needs. We can be the solution other people crave. We are all doctors and we are all healers."

This is the reason AA works because it says: We'll love you until you can love yourself.

What strange world! We feel ashamed of even approaching another person for a casual exchange, hiding behind our screens. We can forgive the teens and young adults, but why older folks freaking out? They do because they think others will know I have few friends. Well, here's news for you: When you approach another fellow human, you OFFER THEM a potential Mutually Interesting and Enjoyable Connection. Both win in this goodwill effort.

At least women seem to be less hung up -- this what my experience has been ; but they often talk what is women-oriented, not of human-interest at least in my bad luck efforts. Still I carry on, what else the choice!

@sisyphus I have to agree with you on this. The more active I am, the better I feel physically.
