Scientists Rate The Top Antidepressants

Well there was a study done and it was broken down in to two categories. The first is efficiency or how well the antidepressant worked. The second category was acceptability or the likely hood that the person would keep taking the antidepressant. Anyway here is the list:

Efficacy:

1) Mirtazapine (Remeron)

2) Escitalopram (Lexapro)

3) Venlafaxine (Effexor)

4) Sertraline (Zoloft)

5) Citalopram (Celexa)

6) Buproprion (Wellbutrin)

7) Paroxetine (Paxil)

8) Milnacipran (Savella)

9) Fluoxetine (Prozac)

10) Duloxetine (Cymbalta)

11) Fluvoxamine (Luvox)

12) Reboxetine (Vestra)




Acceptability:

1) Sertraline (Zoloft)

2) Escitalopram (Lexapro)

3) Buproprion (Wellbutrin)

4) Citalopram (Celexa)

5) Fluoxetine (Prozac)

6) Milnacipran (Savella)

7) Mirtazapine (Remeron)

8) Venlafaxine (Effexor)

9) Paroxetine (Paxil)

10) Duloxetine (Cymbalta)

11) Fluvoxamine (Luvox)

12) Reboxetine (Vestra)

The hope is that doctors will figure out which antidepressants work and which antidepressants people will continue to take in order to best match the patients need. Chances are this study was a huge waste of money but I could be wrong. take care
