It is important to remember that different people have different body chemistries and that medications work differently on different people. This is just how these medications have worked for me.
Medication | Dosage | Effects on Mood | Side Effects |
Prozac | 20mg - 80 mg | Hypomania at first, then mildly positive effects on mood | Loss of appetite (major), sleep disturbances (minor), nausea (at first) |
Zoloft | 50mg - 175mg |
None (or mild and then constantly declining:
I ended up in the hospital on this medication) |
None |
Effexor | 75mg - 300mg |
Most promising thus far. Positive mood.
Minor 'dips' from time to time. Currently seems to be declining. (1/28) |
Headache (including migraine). (seems to have disappeared)
Sleep disturbances (major). Vivid dreams(major, but entertaining). |
