They've been almost entirely effective and tolerable for me on a number of occasions, and anecdotal evidence would suggest for many other people too. I don't think research reflects exactly how successful meds can be because of candidate selection issues outlined earlier in this thread.
Still, I appreciate that we probably all have subtly different underlying causes for our depression, so SSRI's will be useless for some.
