Quick SSRI overview

Just for a quick reference:

Zoloft: excellent for anxiety treatment
Luvox: nothing spectacular. Good for OCD and SAD treatment.
Paxil: excellent for anxiety treatment. Weight gain is common.
Lexapro: GAD treatment. watch for initial anxiety.
Celexa: depression treatment. watch for initial anxiety.
Prozac: depression, OCD, anxiety, and eating disorder treatment. Very energizing.

GI side effects are the most common complaint. Watch for Serotonin Syndrome.
