A good general article on SSRIs, though I would note that Effexor is a SNRI (serotonin & norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) and Wellbutrin is a DNRI (dopamine & norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor) - in fact, Wellbutrin doesn't work on serotonin at all! Important to note bc Wellbutrin can be taken as Zyban to help with smoking cessation and can be taken IN ADDITION to an SSRI; otherwise, taking two drugs from the same class of SSRI could put one at risk for serotonin syndrome.

I took Paxil for my anxiety condition OCD when it wasn't working well & the Dr. increased the dosage it made me feel awful! There were days I didn't care if I made it home from work alive! I have never felt that way before & I'm No teenager! I'm 37! If you take SSRI's becareful! I do not believe it affects only kids! Be warned . Melissa in Michigan[/b]
