Hi BSPGirl

This is true, but the SSRIs & SNRIs do have differing distinguishing properties and I was trying to answer to ccgirl's question about her husband and Prozac. While exceptions exist just like you said, it is well-accepted that fluoxetine is more known for causing 1) anxiety 2) sleeplessness) 3) weight loss.

Conversely, sertraline has some of the lowest incidences of those side effects of any AD out there.
