I'm on effexor and Celexa for depression, and neither do squat for my anxiety. For that I take Clonazepam and Seroquel. If you want to avoid the benzo's and aren't afraid to take an AAP, seroquel's pretty good. It's prescribed at a low dose for anxiety. Main side effect for me is it makes me really drowsy. I haven't gained any weight on it, but I know that's a risk with this med.
