What is an effective antidepressant? I have tried Zoloft and Wellbutrin.?

There is a new antidepressant out that's called Cymbalta. Ask your doc about putting you on it.

I would definitely say Prozac. I take that one and it seems to calm me down and has really brought my OCD down alot. Wellbutrin tends to have a stimulating effect for most people, and when I was on it years ago that's what it did to me. I really have NO idea about Zoloft though because I've never been on it lol Now remember everyone responds to different to these kind of medications but Prozac is what has worked best for my anxiety and OCD. Good luck :)

I have been on several antidepressants. The best new one is Symbax, (for depression and anxiety) but it does make you gain some weight. 15 lbs. in 4 mos. for me. But it was the only one effective at controlling my symptoms.

I did not have a good experience with Paxil (gave me uneasy feeling and sleep tremors), nor Prozac.

Antidepresants work with your sadness, then the side effects are this, you won't want to work that is, it depends on the dosage. Wellbutrin is better then zoloft, it is a antidepresant but it go against your sex drive. You won't gain weight, drink plenty of water and avoid fast foods, eat fruit, excerise and join a health club and always think positive. good luck

Effexor XR works for me. I didn't notice any sexual side effects and I lost about 20 lbs. So perhaps... But most docs will prescribe Paxil for depression with anxiety. Bad thing about that one is the sexual side effects. I would try the Effexor and get Ativan for the anxiety. It works well and doesn't slam you. Good luck and keep trying.

Neither Zoloft or Paxil worked for me.

Effexor helped a lot. Some lose weight when they start taking Effexor.

I took celexa for about 6 months. I gained about 5 pounds and did not feel it affected my sex drive. The doctor also said that it would alleviate anxiety. I felt fine after I went off the treatment. I hope this helps.

Oh boy, paxil helped me to gain tons of weight, can't lose it, there's not enough scientific study behind it, for any doctor to tell you,and I had terrible side effects, honey, change your life, look at what's bothering you and get support, it only masks your problems it won't change them.

I have three friends on Lexapro and all of them love it. As for anxiety- I take Xanax and it works wonders for me. Best of luck to you.

i was on Prozac for quite a while and found it quite good no side effects that i was aware of!
