When choosing an antidepressant, you should always discuss the options with your doctor. Each drug
has both positives and negatives. You must also decide if you want to use an SSRI (selective serotonin uptake inhibitor),
which regulates your serotonin level, or a non-SSRI. Some common SSRIs are Zoloft, Paxil, Celexa and Prozac. Some non-SSRIs
are Wellbutrin* and Effexor.
*Those with EDs should NOT take Wellbutrin. EDs cause an electrolyte imbalance within the body, and Wellbutrin also effects
the electrolyte balance. Risk of seizure is a possible side effect of Wellbutrin, and that risk is drastically increased
when a person has an ED.
