Any antidepressant recommendations?

I think I may need to go on antidepressants, but I've been putting it off due to not enjoying the effects of fluoxetine and citalopram...I gained lots of weight and completely lost my sex drive.

Wellbutrin looks great for these side effects but doesn't seem to be available in the UK.

Does anyone have any ideas? I am frightened to go and try lots through the GP and have to suffer loads of side effects, and also worried they will not be able to help me properly.

You'll have to just try them. They affect different people differently. I suffered with SSRIs which most people are fine with but I'm fine on Amitriptyline which hardly gets prescribed for depression anymore because it's reputation precedes it when it comes to side effects.
