Advantages of SSRIs include: greater tolerability and safety and a wider range of clinical applications, one of which is a potential use in the treatment of drug abuse and some eating disorders (see also: Chapter 4).
A second factor proposed to account for SSRI withdrawal effects is a decline in serotonergic transmission, although there is no direct evidence for this and the mechanisms for producing particular withdrawal symptoms are obscure.
SSRIs, including zimelidine, citalopram, viqualine and fluoxetine have been shown in controlled studies to decrease alcohol consumption in non-depressed alcoholics and heavy or problem drinkers.
SSRIs, Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors, are a widely used group of antidepressants, which includes such drugs as fluoxetine (Prozac) and paroxetine (Seroxat).
SSRIs are mostly used for treatment of depression, but individual members of the group have other, specialised uses eg anxiety, panic disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, eating disorders, and social phobia.
SSRIs only work after they have built up in your system, and thus need to be taken regularly, and will start to have their effects after two weeks or more.
