A member asked:
Sertraline had much better anxiolytic properties than for me, than prosac is there an third alternative?

Anxiolytics: Ssri;s in general should work, such as prozac, celexa, lexapro, paxil, zoloft. Also, snri's are worth a try, such as Cymbalta & effexor (venlafaxine).

Non-SSRI: Both sertraline (zoloft) and fluoxetine (prozac) belong to an antidepressant class known as ssris that have sexual side effects in some patients. Depending on your diagnosis, medication such as buspar, (buspirone) Remeron & others might be a "third option" with a different side effect profile -discuss this with your doc.
