Effective Medications For Depression

What are some of the best medications for Manic Depression?

We Answered:

The classic medication for Manic Depression is Lithium. Then there's also the anticonvulsant medications for manic depression such as Depakote, Tegratol and Lamictal. As to what's the best medication, that has to be worked out between you and the doctor. Everyone responds differently to medication. Depakote and Tegratol worsened my manic depression and I've never taken Lithium or Lamictal but I hear they are 2 great mood stabilizers. My long term mix consists of Topamax, Valium, and Zyprexa. This mix though may not work for you. What works for one person may not work for another. In terms of safety and effectiveness, that you'd have to speak with the doctor about. I'll provide 2 forums that you can use to chat about meds if you'd like to use them to help sort out your concerns. I hope I've been of help and I wish you luck in your treatment decisions.

Is Lexapro is the most effective and less side effect medication for depression and GAD?

We Answered:

Personally, I hated lexapro. I was taking it for anxiety also and all it did was intensify it. It got so bad it made me pass out...twice! I took it for only a few days before that happened and when I stopped taking it I couldn't sleep, eat or even leave my house for almost a week. Everyone is different but if you experience sever side effects call your Dr. I currently take Zoloft and have been on it for 2 years now and it has worked miracles for my anxiety problem. I have had no problems in the sex department. You should continue the medication for as long as your dr recommends. Hope this helped! Good Luck with whatever meds you choose.
