Thanks for the citations. It is interesting that both studies came to the same conclusion - that escitalopram (Lexapro) and sertraline (Zoloft) are the most effective antidepressants when one considers both efficacy and tolerability. I was surprised by how low paroxetine (Paxil) scored

If I were a virgin and wished to avoid MAOIs, I might ask my doctor to:

1. Start with Lexapro
2. Switch from Lexapro to Zoloft
3. Add Wellbutrin
4. Switch from Zolft to Effexor
5. Switch from Wellbutrin to nortriptyline
6. Add Remeron
