The most common antidepressant drugs are SSRI (Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors) drugs. Some examples of these drugs include Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Luvox, Lexapro, Effexor, Serzone and Remeron. The generic forms of these drugs include Fluoxetine, Sertraline, Paroxetine, Fluvoxamine, Citalopram, Escitalopram, Venlafaxine, Nefazodone and Mirtrazapine.
Each of these drugs works a little bit differently and is prescribed based upon the severity of a person’s depression. Sometimes one medicine will stop working and another one will have to prescribed though.
Of course, all drugs have side effects, even these ones. The most common side effects include nausea, insomnia, anxiety, nervousness, loss of appetite, impotence and headaches. These symptoms’ severity varies from person to person. The worst side effect is that they simply do not work.
