   Klonopins work best for anxiety for me anyways
   Prozac helped alot when I was on it when I was 13. I’m thinking about getting back on it (im 17 now) if i only had stupid health insurance…

   Sorry I can’t suggest any medication because I no longer take medication.

   On an alternative theme:

   I have found the Raw Vegan diet the best thing for naturally managing depression and anxiety.

   My depression and anxiety have completely vanished since I started to eat Raw Vegan foods.

   I would also favour other natural methods like daily meditation, deep breathing, yoga, bach flower remedies, acupuncture, light therapy, exercise etc….

   I had very bad depression and anxiety for years but I gave up all medication because as you say, the side effects made me feel worse.

   Here are a few websites that talk about over-coming depression through diet and natural methods:

   Good luck

   EDIT: I find it quite shocking that I have so many thumbs down for this. I have cured my life-long depression and anxiety through simply changing my diet. I was often depressed to the point of suicide and the cocktail of tablets the doctor gave me often made me worse with their horrible side-effects.

   I also find it quite shocking that there are young people on here quite happy to pop a Prozac without batting an eyelid or thinking of the longer term health consequences. I find it very sad that people don’t want to make an effort to heal themselves; they just want a quick fix from the doctor.

   For Gods sake people, wake up to yourselves and educate yourselves before its too late. Taking these drugs can lead to health issues that are much much worse than depression. Believe me, I know, been there, done that. And only just recovered from it.

   If you really MUST take toxic chemical drugs, then Zoloft is meant to be quite good - or at least it seems to be the best of a bad bunch.

   My doctor told me was non-addictive and that was a lie. I also saw a friend trying to reduce her dosage and come off it, and she was in a terrible mess. This drug also gave her a sexual dysfunction (i.e.) she was unable to have an orgasm and made her disinterested in sex or even cuddling. Nearly wrecked her marriage in the long run.

   There is no single best antidepressant. They effect everyone slightly differently - I’ve been on three or four different medications trying to find the right one for me. Tell your doctor that you don’t think citalopram is working for you very well and s/he’ll be able to find something else to try.

   Ask them to change to another one. Finding the right antidepressant can be challenging. Sometimes you have to try a few before you find the one that works for you. You really should not be asking other people what they think is best since they are not medical professionals. Remember, what may work for someone may not work for another.

   Well, I’ve been taking Celexa for a year now, and it really is working well…I’ve tried many other anti-depressants before (including: Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, & Luvox) and Celexa is proven to be the best…Celexa (aka Citaprolam) is a serotonin-selective reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). The best thing about this SSRI, is that it has the least potential for side effects…Unlike the other anti-depressants…
   Celexa has a calming side effect…I suffer with anxiety & depression, and within the 1st week–I’ve noticed I was a bit calmer & my mood was lifted…The full effects can take up to 3-4 weeks…Patience is truly a virtue when it comes to these meds…cuz they’re not like tranquilizers that take effect quickly…Tranquilizers (aka Benzodiazepines) are HIGHLY addictive…Be leary of the "quick fixes"…cuz they usually do damage in the end to your psyche! I know, cuz I’ve been there–done that!! I had to be detoxed off of Klonopin years ago…and it was sheer HELL…
   Another good anti-depressant I’ve tried before was Effexor…However, I experienced racing thoughts & mania on it…I called my psychiatrist and she pulled me off of it immediately…
   For anxiety, another non-addictive medicine is: Buspar. This drug also takes some time to work.

    The safest and the most commonly used antidepressant these days are the "SSRI" selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (prozac,Zoloft,Citalopram…etc) but the main problem with these drugs are the sexual dysfunctions
