Elsie, I feel really bad for you that you are depressed and have had no luck with antidepressents due to the side effects.
I know that for me personally, I would rather have side effects if it meant getting rid of depression. But I guess that if my side effects were terrible, I'm not sure what I would do.
For me Lexapro, which I am currently on at 20 mg, gives me less side effects than I felt on Prozac. The only really bothersome side effect it gives me is tiredness, but not as bad as the tiredness I had on Prozac. Also, I don't get tired anymore because I eat a 1 ounce serving of dark chocolate around 10 or 11 am each morning. It gives me energy all day. Dark chocolate is also good for lowering cholesterol and blood pressure.
