SSRIs and anxiety: You are correct that this medication is often cited in the treatment of depression. It is part of a group of medications called SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors), often referred to as antidepressants. These medications are typically effective in treating anxiety, which from your brief statement may have been why it was prescribed. Clinical study outcomes for anxiety are under way.
