"this is the only medicine that has really taken my generalized anxiety disorder away with so many less side effects. i&#039;ve had gad just about all my life and am now 36.  i have tried celexa, lexepro, zoloft, cymblata, effexor, wellbutrin, buspar and find most of them are too stimulating or make me so tired with no ambition, or feel like i&#039;m going crazy. i would self medicate and made my life even worse. i have been on paxil on and off trying to get something that would work but the paxil is the best for me for anxiety but i lost all my ambition, creativity, interest in just about everything. i would get so tired it&#039;s crazy. i would lose my sex drive.
