How did you know when you found the right one?
I've tried Sertraline (a while ago), Escitalopram (Lexapro) and currently Fluoxetine (Prozac).
Lexipro was great for my anxiety, but made me really lazy and unmotivated and gave me really bad bruxism (teeth grinding), gained weight and lost libido.
Prozac gives me more energy but I feel like the anxiety is not well controlled and still have some bruxism
It's been a while since I tried Zoloft, but I recall it working fairly well, except for lower libido. I'm thinking of switching back to Zoloft but trying a higher dose this time. But I'm not sure if I should try other ones (Paxil, or Effexor) before going back to Zoloft. Should I cycle through all of them before choosing one, or just stop when one works "well enough".
What was your strategy for cycling before you landed on one that works?
