Which SSRIs combination medication is the best to treat chronic GAD and SAD and has fewer side effects?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. Coming to SSRI first, the side effects such as sedation and weight gain issue is lower with Prozac ( Fluoxetine). While Zoloft (Sertraline) has a lower rate of weight gain and sedation is a little higher compared to Prozac. While Lexapro (Escitalopram) has a little higher incidence of sedation and weight gain. Sexual dysfunctions are more or less equal to all these drugs. All these SSRIs are quite safe for long-term use. Initially, Prozac can cause some anxiety symptoms. So overall you can choose from Prozac or Zoloft and Buspirone considering your side effects profile.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Yes, Prozac can also cause weight gain but the weight gain is less compared to other SSRIs. It is only relative to other SSRIs.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
