does anyone know which depression medicine has the least side effects?

Question:

Answers:
The best depression medicine is to recognize that depression comes from within you and can be removed from within you by correct understanding. Can you be happy even for one moment, say if something wonderful happens? If so, then can you choose to be happy in the moment after that? And in the moment after that? Depression only comes when we wrongly think that we can live our lives in the past or the future. The present is the only moment that exists NOW! You can choose to be happy in this moment and the next and so on. So depression doesn't need to have any hold over you because it is an illusion.

Medicines do NOT cure depression. They can make it worse because they wrongly make you think that the solution for depression, along with the cause for it, are outside of you.

From experience, and what nurses and counselors have told me, zoloft.

I think Zoloft is one of the safest ones out there. I used Prozac when I was a teenager and had horrible side effects, then used Zoloft as an adult and experienced no side effects at all. Sunshine friendship and love!

Seriously they all have some side effects. The ones most tested and out of the market longest have the most UNDERSTOOD effects. The newer ones are designed to treat people with depression and pain or depression and anxiety. Describe your symptoms to your health care provider and ask them what they use the most and why. If it just because they have samples.. ask more questions

zoloft and effexor seemed to work well without any sideaffects

ive been on them before

The generic version for Paxil, which is called Paroxetine. They even allow pregnant women to use it. Lexapro has been proven to be the fastest acting, light on your stomach and very little side effects if any. I have been on it for a long time and it's the only one out of tons that I've tried that has worked since I have a very sensitive stomach. Good luck!

none. anyone and everyone is better off without drugs.

paxil-cr has very low side effects. Just check with your doctor before taking it. I have been on it for 3 years now. good luck.

Depends on the severity of the situation I think.
Zoloft seems to be the safest..I have heard the least horror stories from it.
Stay away from paxill. Bad news right there.
Im on zoloft and the only side effect that was really bad was a decreased appetite. But it eventually comes back.
Talk to your doctor though to find out which would be best for your situation.

To the people up there about how drugs dont help depression..Thats a lie.
If it is caused by your outside surroundings and your life..Then no it wont help you have to change that.
But if it is a chemical imbalance..which I have..Then it will change your life. It really will. It helps you.
