The symptoms of major depression often include changes in appetite, sleep habits, and mind/body coordination; decreased sex drive; increased fatigue; feelings of guilt or worthlessness; difficulty concentrating; slowed thinking; and suicidal thoughts.
Buspar
Buspar is an anti-anxiety medicine. Buspar affects chemicals in your brain that may become unbalanced and cause anxiety. Buspar is used to reduce fear, tension, and anxiety associated with anxiety disorders.
Effexor
Effexor is believed to work by affecting the levels of 2 naturally occurring chemicals in the brain — serotonin and norepinephrine. Because Effexor works on these 2 chemicals, it is known as an SNRI, or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor.
Paxil
Paxil is in a class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Paxil affects chemicals in the brain that may become unbalanced and cause depression, panic or anxiety, or obsessive or compulsive symptoms.
Paxil is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder ( social phobia ), and posttraumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ).
Prozac
Prozac is also prescribed to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder. An obsession is a thought that won't go away; a compulsion is an action done over and over to relieve anxiety. The drug is also used in the treatment of bulimia ( binge-eating followed by deliberate vomiting ). It has also been used to treat other eating disorders and obesity.
In addition, Prozac is used to treat panic disorder, including panic associated with agoraphobia ( a severe fear of being in crowds or public places ). People with panic disorder usually suffer from panic attacks--feelings of intense fear that develop suddenly, often for no reason. Various symptoms occur during the attacks, including a rapid or pounding heartbeat, chest pain, sweating, trembling, and shortness of breath.
In children and adolescents, Prozac is used to treat major depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Wellbutrin
Wellbutrin is an antidepressant medication. The exact way that Wellbutrin works is unknown. Wellbutrin is used to relieve symptoms of depression such as feelings of sadness, worthlessness or guilt, loss of interest in daily activities, changes in appetite, tiredness, sleeping too much, insomnia, and thoughts of death or suicide. Bupropion is also used to help people stop smoking by reducing withdrawal effects.
Zoloft
Zoloft is the brand name for Sertraline, and antidepressant, antiobsessional, and antipanic agent. It is an SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, which is a class of drugs that increase the levels of serotonin in a patient.
