Considering meds and need advice

Posted by jammerlich on August 8, 2007, at 15:18:29

I am very leery of taking antidepressants and have been for quite some time. But, I've been feeling especially awful lately and think it may be time to bite the bullet. I've seen a pdoc recently and his suggestions are:

Celexa
Effexor XR
Zoloft
Prozac

My top three concerns are:

withdrawal
weight gain
sweating

I'm pretty sure I DO NOT want the Effexor because of it's similarity to Cymbalta, about which I've heard several horrific withdrawal stories.

Which of these might be a good place to start and what are important things I should know about them? Anything else come to mind that might be a better option?
