I use paxil, but I have a panic disorder and its more of an anxiety drug than an antidepressant. Wellbutrin, prozac, zoloft are all good. I recommend talking to a psychitrist and letting them know what meds you're currently taking. As with any antidepressant, its always good to talk to a psychologist. You could just need someone to help you sort it out. Don't worry, everything is going to be fine. Very Happy

Hi,

I feel your pain. I was just diagnosed with Lupus after suffering for many years. I landed in a phychiatrist's office early on, because all of my symptoms were "in my head" so I have been on many many psych drugs. I currently take a combination of Lexapro 20 mg once a day and a time released tablet of Wellbutrin 300 mg once a day. I also take Xanax for anxiety and sleep when needed. This combo works well for me but everyone is different so you need to just jump in, give them a try and see what works best for you.

Good Luck, Gloria
