SHAWN "Indeed, but which one has been shown to have fewer side effects? They are equal in efficacy; one has fewer side effects; so, which one should someone take? Did you know that someone taking Zoloft is four times as likely to have seizures than someone taking Wellbutrin SR? So this issue is decided, no?

>>>>>>>>>I wish this crap was that simple! But it's not. Zoloft may work well for some; it may do NOTHING for others. Wellbutrin will work great for some; it will do nothing for others. "One man's meat is another man's poison"...that certainly typifies medicine, esp. these kinds of meds. It's never that easy. It's not like choosing between 2 glasses of water..both which are the same "brand", only one has a delicious flavoring added and the other doesn't...that choice would be easier! Every med. is a mystery when put in someone's mouth..the factors involved and the dynamics which take place..with all of the incredibly delicate intracacies of the human brain/body...these meds. are such an "individual" thing..my "cure" could be your worst nightmare! Also, I take Zoloft not only for depression but for OCD as well (the best thing I've EVER taken for that..and of course I know others that it did NOTHING for). It will never be as easy as "Okay, EVERYBODY take ("___________")(you insert WHATEVER med. you wish to) and you will ALL feel EQUALLY better". There is nothing like that!
