hello rosie,
wellbutrin is the drug i think they all start with - it made me lightheaded and that was all. i gave it a fair shot - 2months - then paxil - 3 yrs - took myself off thinking i was ok now and read some negative things (class action lawsuit for one). after being off meds for 6 months my life went even more straight to hell. found a good psychiatrist - 1 1/2 hour interview - now i take lexapro for depression and klonopin for anxiety. the klonopin could be on an as needed only basis. so far so good. he said that lexapro is the best now available, i believe him, have read alot, that's why they do those research studies to improve or create better drugs. not a silly fear, at all. hang in there! just my 2 cents. gotta have a confirmed diagnosis too - is it major depressive disorder? because if it's bipolar, the drugs are different.
