How do I know which anti-depressant to take?!


Question: How do I know which anti-depressant to take!?
There are so many different anti depressants out there that how do you decide what one is most likely to help!? My doctor has put me on 3 different types of anti depressants so far, but the results are not the best!.

When she chooses my medication, she seems to decide on random!.

You're right; there are a lot of different antidepressants on the market!. What works for some people doesn't work well for others!. It may take several efforts to find the right one for you!. Please try to be patient, and keep in touch with your doctor about any side effects!. I am sure that she has told you that it is not a good thing to just stop taking them, due to the rebound effect!. Hang in and best of luck to you! :-)Www@Answer-Health@Com

The problem with antidepressants are that they take so long to start working!.

Really the best one out there is the one that gives you the least amount of side effects!. I was on 'Cipralex', and it did work, I also know people that were on it and it worked for them as well!.

Something else I would recommend, are you and your doctor sure its a 'chemical imbalance' in your brain and isn't something emotional or something from your past!? If you believe it's something like that, I would go see a psychologist before getting on antidepressants!. Drugs that control your mind are powerful!.!.!. but if you do NEED an antidepressant, I would recommend Cipralex!.!.!.!.

Umm!.!.!.
My doctor had me on LITERALLY every anti-depressant [when I was 12] that was safe for kids!.

They decided that I'm bipolar!.!.!.

But my personal oppion is that you don't need meds!. I'm WAY better then I was!.!.!.and I'm on nothing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
