I have a degree in Biomedical Engineering and Psychology from Northwestern University. I finished medical school and completed my M.D. at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. I am currently in my residency for surgery- hopefully to be specializing in neurosurgery.
I want to answer questions on medical type questions. I'm a big fan of Dr. Drew Pinsky on Love Line and would like to help younger people from the mistakes I see a lot of young people do when they come into my ER.

I was wondering if anyone could give me a small list, or even the biggest one you have of anti-depressents aside from Paxil, and Zoloft, I've been on those and they don't seem to help, so maybe anyone who knows of one thats worth a try. I'll rate 5 foe those who try, even if you only have 1 listed.

As you are aware of- antidepressants come in different classes: I've included some below...
Serotonin Selective Reuptake Inhibitors
Celexa
Lexapro
Prozac
Paxil
Zolaft
Symbyax
Tricyclic Antidepressants
1. Amitriptyline
2. Anafranil
3. Aventyl
4. LimbitrolVivactil
Triavil
Tofranil
And then finally teh Monoxidase Inhibitors
1. Nardil
2. Parnate
Others
1. Effexor (very effective)
Ludiomil
Nefazodone.
Wellbutrin
There's a lot but you know that your doctor will find the right one for you. There are side effects with a lot of them, so you have to "experiment". Although, I would ask about Wellbutrin (doesn't have the sexual side effects like some of the SSRI's- however increases risk of seizure if you have a condition of seizures) or Effexor, which I have seen to be very effective.
Best of luck,
Arun
