I think every single one of the medications your psychiatrist mentioned have great potential at pulling people out of depression. Obviously individual experiences vary, but that's a number of choices. I can understand it feeling overwhelming to have to make a choice. If you really can't, you can always ask your doc what their gut tells them.

I have taken (or in the case of two, am still taking) all of those medications you mentioned. All were helpful at easing and/or preventing depression, for me. All are unique, though. If you have any questions, do ask. As fern suggested, there is more info in the "Bipolar Treatments" sub forum, but know that often people emphasize negatives over positives, and sometimes unfairly.
