Which Antidespressant?

[AbstractMouse]

Sorry if I have spelled It wrong. I have been depressed what seems like forever, I had AND with DS, then pnd then my Mum died which made everything worse obviously.

Since then I have been in a kind of hinterland of depression, I get through the days fine, but I'm so sick of just holding on and being so depersonalised etc.

I want to go to my Doc's and ask for an AD hopefully to kick start me into actual life again, is there any you would recommend?

I have taken seroxat (made me very flat) prozac (made me very anxious) and Dosulepin (made me very sleepy and lazy although I did actually like this one).

Everybody has a different reaction to different meds so it is hard to make a recommendation. I think a lot depends on what your symptoms are.

FWIW, the only one (and I have tried many) that has helped me and not had awful side effects is mirtazipine.

Sertraline is great.
