Kara,Paxil is the only SSRI I've taken that really works for anxiety. I could tolerate the Wellbutrin with Paxil but it didn't improve anything, just added the classic Wellbutrin side effects, headache and ears ringing.
Prozac is activating and in my opinion does nothing for anxiety. It may make you more aggressive which may seem more pro active, but that can backfire. Prozac/Wellbutrin combo needless to say was a disaster for me, anxiety central.
