Has anyone had a any luck with depression like medications (i.e. zoloft, effexor, etc.)? What is the best? What are the side effects? I am often depressed, negative and critical. I have a generally negative aspect on everything. I tried Effexor, it was great, but I think I may need something stronger. Any suggestions?
If effexor has been working well for you, maybe you should just increase the dosage, rather than switch to a different medication? Perhaps ask the doc to explore that possibility.
Err well.. I'm currently on zoloft (sertraline), been on it for about 6 months. Personally, I've had dry mouth and sexual dysfunction, yay! But it's been the most effective in terms of the depression which is the main thing.. much better than the other two meds I've been on.
I was on citalopram (is the brand name celexa?) for a month or so, but it gave me muscle spasms and very srange tics (which people noticed, arg!) also made me hyper and generally embarassing.
Before THAT, it was fluoxetine (prozac)… this is the only anti-depressant legally available to under 18's in the UK, so at the time it was fluoxetine or nothing. They also paired that with risperidone (risperdal?) which was supposed to stabalize the suicidal feelings. Can't say it did much for me, but thank god other options are now available.
Each med interacts uniquely with your own body-chemistry, so perhaps you'll have better luck than I did if you happen to take the above meds in the future… so take my opinions with a pinch of salt.. one man's meat is another man's poison and all that! Good luck, + godspeed your recovery

Medical historians describe physicians who claim that diabetes mellitus is curable as quacks. Let the dog quack because pre-diabetes and early diabetes are reversible, at least for a period of years. Dr. Holt has expressed his passionate thoughts about the combat against the metabolic Syndrome X. If a healthcare consumer cannot receive information on the metabolic Syndrome X from their physician or health food store advisor, they should vote with their feet. There are 70 million Americans who suffer from the variable combination of being overweight, having high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol or linked by underlying resistance to the hormone insulin. Dr. Holt has made a constant challenge to physicians and healthcare givers about their understanding of the role of insulin resistance in propagation of obesity, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, depression of immunity, cancer, inflammation, menstrual irregularities and infertility ? to name a few disorders.Revered bodies of medical opinion focus their message on the treatment of diabetes mellitus which is the tip of the ice berg of health problems. While there are 20 or 30 million diabetics in the US, there may be up to 70 million with a pre-diabetic state. Dr. Holt is correct in his thinking, why do we not have close to half of the population with diabetes. The answer to this question is simpler than medical science hitherto recognized according to Dr. Holt. Dr. Holt states that the metabolic Syndrome X, or pre-diabetic states kills many people before they develop diabetes and he postulates that with current trends one fifth of the entire population of the US will have type 2 diabetes by the year 2050. With humility, a protest against common medical thinking, Dr. Holt attacks blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance in the unique synergistic product Blood sugar Naturally.There is an educational hurdle to be jumped by Western nations. This hurdle involves and understanding of the metabolic
