My choice?Spontaneous remission forever after.

It is a hard decision to make. Of the drugs you listed, I believe that Effexor is the most efficacious. I just wish it weren't so difficult to discontinue. My first two encounters with the drug, I suffered some wicked withdrawal effects. I have since learned how to come off of the SRI drugs without much discomfort.
Lexapro seems to have a good track record. I noticed that Prozac isn't up there.
