> Scott is the ordering of ad's your order of efficacy?Yes. It is a rather ad hoc list off the top of my head. It is the efficacy of drugs that I tried to rate, and not side effects or tolerability. I might rate SSRIs as:
Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, Paxil, Celexa, Luvox.
Again, this is a listing off the top of my head based on personal experience and professional contacts.
I'm not sure where to place Cymbalta yet. I guess I would rate it more efficacious than nefazodone, but less efficacious than Effexor. I forgot to include nefazodone and a few others in the original list. I would place it after Remeron and before Luvox.
General?: MAOI -> TCA -> SNRI > SSRI -> amfebutamone -> NaSSA -> NARI -> phenylpiperazine
Another crappy drug is selegiline.
