According to the studies that I have encountered, the only SSRI that approaches the efficacy of Effexor is Lexapro.
How much cheaper is generic Zoloft than generic Effexor?
The cost effectiveness of an antidepressant is evaluated using quite a few parameters. Besides the cost of the medication, one must take into account the medical expenses attendant to failure to respond to it, including the number of days spent in the hospital, diagnostic tests, lost wages, etc.
I would like to see the work of Ken Gillman that you refer to here. Do you recall where you saw it?
Out of curiosity, which antidepressant does your doctor choose first when treating an index episode of Major Depressive Disorder? I haven't asked my doctor this in a long time. I'll try to remember to do so at my next visit.
