Lets see if I can remember them all. Lexapro gave me more dramatic mood swings. Paxil and Prozac made me too sick to my stomach. Wellbutrin was my favorite as it gave me more energy but it made my personality go from depressed to what my friends termed 'hyperactive cheerleader' and when I was more recently on it (this list spans 10 years) doctors believed it induced an episode of delusion so they made me go off it. Zoloft controlled my panic disorder and ocd but gave me no sex drive and caused tremors and muscle spasms. Effexor made me shaky and Abilify and Geodon caused severe muscle pain. Right now I'm on Celexa which helps the depression but it took me a while to get over the initial fatigue but now it's not so bad. I take Xanax when necessary. Ambien to sleep. And Risperdal for the hallucinations.
p.s. Sorry I haven't been around much and disappear from the forum for months at a time. Just been doing other things.
