I think Dr's are too quick to put people on anti-depressants. If you don't have a real chemical imbalance going on then the side effects can be brutal.
From what I have read Prozac & Paxil are at the top of the side effect list.
Cymbalta & Lexapro are supposed to have less side effects.
Wellbutrin is supposed to have the least (but it can cause anxiety).
Europeans have used 5HTP for decades to treat depression. It is the pre-cursor to Seratonin and you can get it at Walgreens. You can't take it while taking other antidepressants though. I think there is a lot to be said for diet too.
