I have seen some potency charts somewhere. I think the order was paxil strongest, then lexapro, zoloft. Not sure about the others. In my own experience with all of them I would agree with paxil being the most potent, but prozac the most effective. imo
The way they measure potency is by how strong the affinity of the drug is to its target receptors. But it doesn't tell us anything about the myriad of ways the meds manipulate all kinds of other physiological systems within us, which may or may not play a major role in the remission or not. So merely looking at potency as a measuring stick I don't think tells the whole story.
