The latest are the SSNRI, meaning Selective Serotonine and Neuropenephrine Reuptake inhibitors. They include Effexor and Cymbalta. Wellbutrin is relatively new. It works on Dopamine, so it is not an SSRI or an SSNRI, though it is combined often with them. Typical SSRIs that have been around a while are Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil. The newest SSRIs have less side effects than the older SSRIs and include Celexa and Lexapro. SSRIs work primarily on Serotonine. Depakote is not strictly an anti-depressant, but often used in bi-polar patients or patients with some mood disorder, but not exclusively depressed. Abilify and Risperdal are also in that group with Depakote, as well as Topamax. I highly recommend a site called www.remedyfind.com. Customers critique their medications, why they are on them, how they work, etc...

Right now I am on Effexor I am dealing with Post Partum Depression and I havent had a problem with them. I was hesitant to take them at first beacuase of all the romours of anit-depressants, but when I tried to get over Post Partum my self it got worse and not better, so the Doc put me off Effexor. So far so good

10mg of escitalopram is an identical to roughly 20mg of citalopram. citalopram involves the D & L isomers of which the d or dextro type is almost inactive. the levo or S type is the lively component. they're the identical chemical however you could be getting a much better dose with the 10mg of escitalopram than with 10mg of citalopram. p.s. S stands for sinister and is used to designate levo or left since in olden days it was once inspiration that left-passed persons have been sinister. the designation is established on whether or not an answer of the isomer rotates a airplane of polarized mild to the proper or to the left. in an effort to grow to be opitcally lively, a drug calls for an uneven carbon atom (a carbon atom with one of a kind corporations connected). hence ends my pharmaceutical chem lecture for at present.

I don't know about the newest, but I tried a few before I found the one that worked for me.......Wellbutrin XL. Please be under a doctor's care & discontinue the drugs if you have a bad reaction.
