Not for me, though the more I learn about anti-depressants the more vague the term seems. It seems most common 'anti-depressant' drugs are stimulants or very similar to stimulants. I think that explains why they seem to make my anxiety worse.

Right now I am taking trazodone which apparently is an anti-depressant as well as a sedative so it doesn't have stimulant properties as far as I know just is sedating with potential anti-depressant benefits. But with so much variation of what can be considered an 'anti-depressant' what exactly does the term mean any drug theorized to combat depression...though it seems they prescribe them for anxiety, PTSD and other conditions which confuses me as I am not so sure anti-depressants are really such a cure all. I mean obviously PTSD symptoms and anxiety symptoms are a little bit different than depression symptoms.

That said anti-depressants do help some people, and don't help others...depends on the specific drug and the individual.
