Hi, Celexa did not work for me either.
Of the ones you listed - I have tried:
Effexor -- bad, bad bad FOR ME; my experience with it was that it was too activating - made me jittery, anxious, nervous and feel overcaffeinated. It also numbed my emotions out - I felt no happiness and no sadness either. Very weird and hard to describe.
Paxil -- this worked VERY well for me and kicked in almost immediately. I was on it for about 7 years before it pooped out.
Zoloft -- seemed to help a bit but then I plateau'd and became increasing irritable and short tempered so I stopped it.
I have not tried the others you mentioned (Luvox, Serzone) Overall, I'd say the one that worked best for me was Paxil.
NOTE: This is just one person, my, experiences. Your mileage may vary. What works for some people, does not for others. Good luck!
