> Hi, I asked this question earlier to that "WIZ" (complement) Chemist. But I'll ask this question to anyone who will lend me their knowledge.
> Out of all the SSRI's which one's exhibit the most powerful antidepressant effects? Or do the drugs vary from person to person? Or are they all about the same? I take Lexapro and was wondering how it stacked up against other SSRI's. Thanks in advance for anyone who responds to this post.

>Hi,
Statistically, Zoloft is the SSRI that has proven to be above average in terms of efficacy, but if Lexapro agrees with you, I would stay on that as it appears to be gathering a reputation as a likeable & effective AD. The biggest difference between SSRI's is their side effects, more so than their efficacy, so most people tend to have a favourite.
Cheers,
