You can also give me a link as to wehre I can find them. I need all sorts of information on them all. :)

Answer 1

Here are some of the more common ones and a little info on them.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
citalopram (brand name: Celexa)
escitalopram (brand name: Lexapro)
fluoxetine (brand name: Prozac)
paroxetine (brand names: Paxil, Pexeva)
sertraline (brand name: Zoloft)
These medicines tend to have fewer side effects than other antidepressants. Some of the side effects that can be caused by SSRIs include dry mouth, nausea, nervousness, insomnia, sexual problems and headache.

Tricyclics
amitriptyline (brand name: Elavil)
desipramine (brand name: Norpramin)
imipramine (brand name: Tofranil)
nortriptyline (brand name: Aventyl, Pamelor)
Common side effects caused by these medicines include dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, difficulty urinating, worsening of glaucoma, impaired thinking and tiredness. These antidepressants can also affect a person's blood pressure and heart rate.

Serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
venlafaxine (brand name: Effexor)
duloxetine (brand name: Cymbalta)
Some common side effects caused by these medicines include nausea and loss of appetite, anxiety and nervousness, headache, insomnia and tiredness. Dry mouth, constipation, weight loss, sexual problems, increased heart rate and increased cholesterol levels can also occur.

Norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs)
bupropion (brand name: Wellbutrin)
Some of the common side effects in people taking NDRIs include agitation, nausea, headache, loss of appetite and insomnia. It can also cause increase blood pressure in some people.

Combined reuptake inhibitors and receptor blockers
trazodone (brand name: Desyrel)
nefazodone (brand name: Serzone)
maprotiline
mirtazpine (brand name: Remeron)
Common side effects of these medicines are drowsiness, dry mouth, nausea and dizziness. If you have liver problems, you should not take nefazodone. If you have seizures, you should not take maprotiline.

Monamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs)
isocarboxazid (brand name: Marplan)
phenelzine (brand name: Nardil)
tranlcypromine (brand name: Parnate)
MAOIs are used less commonly than the other antidepressants. They can have serious side effects, including weakness, dizziness, headaches and trembling. Taking an MAOI antidepressant while you're taking another antidepressant or certain over-the-counter medicines for colds and flu can cause a dangerous reaction. Your doctor will also tell you what foods and alcoholic beverages you should avoid while you are taking an MAOI. You should not take an MAOI unless you clearly understand what medications and foods to avoid. If you are taking an MAOI and your doctor wants you to start taking one of the other antidepressants, he or she will have you stop taking the MAOI for a while before you start the new medicine. This gives the MAOI time to clear out of your body.

Answer 2

You should go to the library and see the Physicians Desk Reference. I believe that lists all medications. Just one thing, before you take any antidepressants, be sure you really need them, they are for severe cases.

The vast majority of depression can be taken care of with talk therapy with a counselor, much more safe for your body...and mind.

Answer 3

You need to talk to your doctor if you are thinking of taking antidepressents.
Some brands I know of, are Lexapro and Zoloft.
Just look them up on google :)

There are many different ones celexa, Paxil and amitriptiline not sure if that is spelled correctly but For anything like that your best resource is your doctor as he will be able to keep track of your progress on them as well as if you even need them

I would for safety reasons stay away from these online pharmacies

I have looked up and provided some links for you in a case of medical stuff like this best to rely on a trained medical proffessional in that once he knows your symptoms he is better qualified than any website to tell you which one you need because some of these medications have serious side effects

Tide's giving away presents?

No seriously, call up your doctor. Even if you just talk to a nurse, they can chat to you about options and what the difference is between each one. Or look it up on wikipedia, because usually they have great information.
