What is a good medication for Clinical Depression?
Question:
Answers:
I've been on most anti-depressants, both prescription and herbal. I will suggest one of each.
Lexapro is an awesome prescribed anti-depressant. I was on it for 3 years (in conjunction with mood stabilizers for bipolar) and it really worked wonders for me. The reason I'm not on it any more is because my body grew immune and it stopped working. Phooey.
Kava-kava is a great herbal supplement for digging me out of a deeply depressed state. However it warns that it can potentially mess with the liver so it is suggested that you only take it for a couple/few weeks at a time.
First go see your doc. or better yet , take a depression quiz on the Internet and see how far you are into it. they are all over the net. Just look up depression test and boom. Take it. It should be free. Print it out, go see your doc. There are sooooooo many antidepressant medicines out there that your doc can give you.
I started with zoloft, (made me crazy) he changed me to Lexapro and so far so good. Only been on it a week, but no side effects yet. It takes a while for them to kick in though, so time is needed and patience with yourself.
Good luck

Different things work for different people. Effexor XR works really well for me, but I still suggest you talk to your doctor.
