Prozac has been by far the most effective AD for me, and I've tried them all. It's also a breeze to wean off of (although I've never personally been able to go more than a year without having to start it again, as my depression/anxiety always comes back). The last time I re-started it, it took about 9 weeks to kick in, which is a pretty long time. I was absolutely miserable in the interim (weight loss, worsened mood, INSOMNIA, muscle twitching, etc.) but it was so worth the wait. One morning, it was literally like someone turned on the lights. Everything was normal again. And it's been getting better and better every day (I'm at about 15 weeks now). That being said, everyone is different. Celexa also worked well for me when I first took it a long time ago, but it pooped out at around 4 years. I've never had any poop out issues from Prozac, even after more than a decade of use.
