I have PTSD and OCD. The SSRIs have mostly given me increased anxiety making my OCD especially worse even though they do help with depression. I am on Lexapro now and cut the dose in half to decrease anxiety and it only helped a bit. I also have been on Lexapro for months and the anxiety from it has not gone away.

Has anyone tried anything besides the SSRIs for anxiety disorders? {The place I go to for mental health treatment doesn't prescribe Benzos any more to anyone so I can't get them anymore.} They used to help me.
