@pjs70 Adding my two cents worth on Effexor. I took it for two weeks and felt like electricity was zapping my brain. Is there anyone who gets relief from their depression and doesn’t mind the ‘zapping’? Everything I read about Effexor makes me glad I didn’t continue taking it.

Lexapro
Cymbalta

Talk to your doc ask for a psych consult for an evaluation to see what will help you the best The others do not do the nasty stuff that this awful drug does
