What is the best medication for Depression & Anxiety?

There are countless different products for Depression, and as a result of the nature of the medicine and the variety offered, you'll typically find professionals who specifically decide which medicine to give you based on your characteristics. If you have certain characteristics, some medicines will have adverse side effects, and so they'll give you another to avoid the side effect of the first medicine.

Basically, there's no "best" medication, just like there's no "best" size of shirt. There are different sizes for different people.

theres one one magic medication for depression & anxiety. Your Dr. will probably try a number of different medications at different dosages to find the right medication and dosage for you. It different for different people.
Usually medication is used in conjunction with cognitive behaviour therapy with a psychologist\ psychriatrist.

Every case is different. When prescribing medication for these conditions, many factors must be taken into account. I like to prescribe Wellbutrin because of its benign side effect profile, but this drug is not magical nor perfect by any means. You should take what your doctor gives you, he will always have a good reason for prescribing a certain drug (at least this is true of specialists, non-psychiatrists might only know how to use one drug, or only a few).

Talking to someone.

Meanwhile beta-blockers can help with anxiety. I would avoid Seroxat.

I took stuff for years - I gave up drugs as they are just a crutch. Dealing with the problem by talking to a professional and a very close trusted friend are how I manage my mental health today.

I suffer from both. And i have found that the drugs may work But the two best aids are friends and family. Also just going for a walk helps to lift my mood and help me focus on the good things. try and pick somewere nice for a walk, maybe with trees etc. I try to go out everyday if i can.

i find mirtazipine or zispin with mogadon really help me!! i suggest that you go to your dr's and get on a perscription for depression you will feel so much better. also prozac are ok.good luckxx

I take Zoloft for depression, but I like the first answer from Empress of laughter. If your always laughing, what do you have to be depressed about. I'm throwing my Zoloft away and just laugh all day.

therapy. i have taken almost ever anti-depressant there is and the only thing that really helped was seeing a phyciatrist and trying to be happy. laugh even if somthing isnt funny. just loosen up.

I have found that marijuana was far more effective and much less damaging than the stuff the doctor gave me.

st johns wort, it takes a few weeks to set in but the best thing about it is its natural and not addictive.

I would ask your dr about cymbalta. that is what has worked the best for me.
