Antidepressants are never advised without consulting a Psychiatrist. The medicines (antidepressants) are not that much important as much as its doses. A Psychiatrist can suggest medicine and its dosage after taking your interview. So don't try such antidepressants on your own.
i've taken lexapro,paxil,zoloft,welbutrin and i'm currently on effexer xr and all these med's have made no difference on my mild depression and costed me a lot of confusion as well as side effects...and yes they have made me a zombie...
I was on Wellbutrin for a while and I didn't feel like a Zombie at all, and Wellbutrin doesn't cause weight gain which is hard to find with anti - depressants -
It's kind of a guessing game... let your doc know what you're looking for and he/she should be able to help you pinpoint the right meds for you!
what are u on? the answer is no. ive been on every one possible and i can tell you what the bad points were on every one but you need to see for yourself. everyone is different. i take effexor XR. it works on serotonin and norepinephrine so it gives you a physical boost as well as a mental one.
Hi KimBree,
I agree with Sam. This medication doesn't work for you. I've been on several anti-depressants and it took several tries until I finally found the right one. You'll know it when you're on the right one. Your moods will even out. More mellow.
I feel the same way so I just take stopped taking them and still trying to find one that doesn't make me feel that way. Just talk to your doctor and you'll find one right for you.
