Paula,
Prozac and Zoloft are in the same family. So is Paxil. If SSRI's are too sedating, (my experience) you must try something else. Do not give up. I have changed doctors a couple of times. There are 160 different medications for depression alone...not counting all of the possible augmentation meds. I call my regimen a cocktail. I take imipramine, effexor and stellazine. 2% of the population who take effexor get a caffiene like effect....I am one of the 2%. Thank god, I slept 12 - 14 hours a day for 2 years. I wasn't sure which was worse, the depression or the cure. Please keep trying. Post your progress, I would like to know how you are doing.
