stacie, we can't possibly tell you what drugs to take! You need to talk to your doctor about that! 3FC members are not qualified to give you advice on your medications, or really, any medical condition.

Call your doctor's office and ask what you should be taking and when.

I second that. Who prescribed it to you? They should know what else you're on & how much & how long, etc. Go back & get all the info you need to treat things safely. Messing with drugs without the knowledge can be dangerous.

Good luck!

If they were all perscribed by your doctor and you're wondering about when to take them - morning, evening, etc. your pharmisist is a good person to talk to.

You should go back to your doctor and ask for proper advice - giving you all those tablets and leaving the descision up to you isn't on.

Different people react very differently to antidepressants - if you ask 100 people you will get 100 different stories.

You need to discuss medication with a doctor - only they know your medical history and can help you to decide which is the best one to try.

If you don't feel comfortable going back to your doctor and asking for more advice, I'd look in to changing doctors.

Depression is a sensitve subject and you need a doctor who can really help you.

I personally have not been on any of the ones you've mentioned but if you do a search on this board I have no doubt you'll come up with threads that address each and every med you listed.

I'm still a little confused to as why your doc gave them all to you at once and not tell you which to take together? Why is he leaving it up to you to choose.... I'm sorry I'm a little lost here.
