The most sedating (individual results may vary) are Luvox being the most and Paxil possibly being somewhat less. Luvox is still excellent for OCD even though it has been generic for a while. Prozac, being the second (the first true one had so many serious side effects that it was pulled) on the market is less refined and probably the most activating. The other newer ones such as Celexa and Lexapro is anyone's guess, could be neutral, who knows.
These all, as noted, are individual results varying.
