Yes., in many: That combination can be very useful for generalized anxiety disorder. It may take 1-2 months for full effect. After that, dose can be adjusted if needed. It will help even more if it is combined with therapy.

Common Tx: Your complaints are often treated w/ such medications. Side effects of many sorts may occur and you need to report them to Dr immediately for adjustments. Effectiveness varies for people but all studies support adding CBT therapy to optimize outcome and minimize or replace the drugs. Work closely w/ Dr and a therapist to learn skills for a lifetime!
