I was on it for about a year and I guess it worked well, I didnt have anxiety I can recall but I also weight trained daily. Recently Ive been on lexapro for about a year and my anxiety got real bad lately, so they switched me to cymbalta and it didnt help and then zoloft and that didnt help. Now back on the paxil cr 37.5 and hopefully it helps. I cant live with these attacks.
