lonely-and-sad and elin,

Before running through all available ADs, you should know that there are quite few medical conditions which can cause depression, for instance

1. Gluten -> Autoimmune disease thyroid
2. Acid reflux -> acid blockers -> vitamin B12 deficiency
3. Vitamin D deficiency
4. Took antibiotics -> Altered gut flora -> Changes the way peptides and neurotransmitters are produced
5. Love Sushi -> Mercury poisoning
6. Hate fish -> Omega 3 deficiency
7. Love sugar -> Prediabetes

as discussed in this talk



If you have any of these things, ADs won't fix the underlying problem.

You should also know that ADs often just don't work

Why Antidepressants Don't Work for Treating Depression | Mark Hyman, MD

and that most people end up wanting to come off them, sometimes with significant negative consequences

Also, you should see this thread.
