I have been on all kinds of antidepressants. Everyone responds differently to the same meds for example I can have a good experience with paxil and welbutrin where as others had problems with them. I had problems with prozac and lots of others but yet people I know that are on the ones that I had a problem with are doing great on them.

The trick to finding the right medication and dosage is how the follow up care is done. A prescribing professional can't get it right if the clients don't tell them what is going on. So when I am on medication I keep a medication log - Date and time I take the medication and any symptoms and side effects that I experience on the medication. Then I take my medication log with me to my family physician and he adjusts the medication. The first month - two months on the medication I see my physician weekly for medication checks and then if all goes well my med checks change to every 6 months during the time I am on that medication.
