maybe: It can be a very effective medication. It is sometimes associated with weight gain, feeling tired and usually requires a slow titration when it is stopped. Mood stabilizers are sometimes beneficial as well.

May be useful: Some patients have done well on Paxil (paroxetine) for both depression and anxiety, and if you have failed other meds, it is worth a try here.
