I take cymbalta which I LOVE. I took lexapro before, but the side effects (mostly the sweating) SUCKED. I am happy with what I am on now. : )

I've tried the same as you, so I wouldn't know any others that work apart from Lovan. All I've found with these are that I dream a whloe lot more and my hands get a little shaky.

I take Wellbutrin, if definately lifts your mood, and helps with energy level, but can cause insomnia. (also has generic in regular and slow release formulas)

Sometimes 1 medication alone will not be enough to treat the depression enough & the MD may add other meds to supplement the prozac. (ie: Wellbutrin XL, Neurontin) or a class of medications that is given for off label use...atypical anti-psychotics have been found to work well for depression.

Wellbutrin has some of same side effects as others, but won't make you agitated or anything...may give you dry mouth.
Neurotin is Gabapentin that affects GABA level in the brain. I think 1 of side effects is that it may affect your balance, but it works really well.

Good luck to you.

I am on Effexor right now, and I hope to get off it. I've had horrible side effects going on it, while on it, and while trying to get off it. It's a horrible drug that I think the side effects out weigh the benifits. I've been having horrible vivid nightmares, dizzy spells, headaches, it's destroyed my memory, and I've been sick to my stomache. I've learned from experience whatever your doctor wants you to take do the research first. I actually used Lexapro before effexor and I think that was a good drug. It treats depression and anxiety. Good luck and I hope you find a drug that will help.

I do not have a good answer because I do not take meds for depression.

Do some research on the web and get a bunch of information and take that to the doctor!!

I hope you get the right meds the first time around.

And if you need anything, let me know!!

What about a natural product. Go to your health shop and ask them if they have information to help depression.

..ahm against it unless you hav some major dysfunctional mental condition like Scizophrenia...I think you can get ur mind and body into shape with diet and exercise...jus say no-right?...good luck-
I met someone from the W.H.O whom told me alot about the Pharmaceutical industry-the thread of the comversation focused mainly on the complex (wiring)nature of the mind and how people have more control over it then they think-a pill to fix the so called chem imbalances that evry person on this earth experiences is a sham-it's business to make money-each person has their own blueprint of thought and no one medication can cure the brain-but you can do things to elevate ur thinking-ur diet of the day could be the answer to ur dilemma-sometimes- all you hav to do is drink a glass a water or go for a run...psychiatry hurts I believe-
