I realize all anti-depression medicines have side effects. Some must have less than others. Does anyone know of any?

I take Paxil CR. Works great for me.

It really depends on the person and the med. Some people have no trouble to zoloft, but I had a hard time on it. Serone wasn't too bad, but I would zone out sometimes, I had this constant ringing in my ears and it made me a little anxious and tired. Wellbutrin has been pretty good so far. But just because I don't have any side effects for me doesn't mean it won't for you

Wellbutrin is supposed to have little side effects but I found it didn't work enough for me. Celexa, an SSRI, seems to have little side effects that I've found. In my experience, Paxil is the worse. Haven't tried the CR version though. You may also try using a light box, which mimics sunlight and can improve your mood naturally too.

what type are you worried about I know some side effects are low sex drive and some keep you from overeating I dont really know of any with a problem in the side effects area. I would share all my concerns with my Doc. he-she can answer all your questions. If you feel you need antidepressants dont wait seek help now. Take care Tammy

The "Prozac Class" is usually pretty good when it comes to not having side effects. That includes Prozac, Celexa, Zoloft, Effexor XR, etc. I am on Effexor XR and it has no side effects. But just remember that just b/c i don't experience side effects, doesn't mean that you wont. It is all about the dosage and how your body metabolizes it. Be careful, and I am sure there is a "miracle drug" out there suited for your needs. ;-)

You need to find out what the depression is about, there are different kinds; hormonal, situational, clinical, etc., etc. There is even one related to winter (SAD)!
All psychotropic drugs have some bad side affects. I strongly recommend counseling, determine what type of depression it is, and treat accordingly. Today, too many people are given drugs and really don't need them so we have many zombies walking around higher than heaven.
Be smart and do this the right way.

Cymbalta works wonders for most people, the dose might need to be adjusted. 60mg is perfect for depression. Cymbalta has the least side effects for me. They might want to add a med on top of the cymbalta. Wellbutrin and Cymbalta are the best together!. I would ask about adding somthing to the cymbalta. I hope you feel better

Just make yourself get up, and get out of the house. Life is passing you by! Take charge of your life again! Go visit friends who are optimistic about life. Quit wallowing in despair!

It is really an individual thing, because eery person will react differently to the same medication. You should talk to your doctor and decide what is the best thing for you.
