I am really interested generally in this drugs vs. depression debate, and so pleased to see all the posts.
Last year I was on Celexa for depression but I remember around the same time having great difficulty in concentrating and slow thinking - I don't know if this was the depression or the drugs.
I didn't experience any physical (non-mental) sideffects.
I'm now depressed again and my doctor has suggested effexor xr, but I've researched it and it seems to have more sideffects than celexa. Any thoughts or advice?
I sometimes wonder if it's better to try and get by with exercise, although getting out of bed in the morning is a struggle...
