Prozac, Cymbalta, Celexa, Buspar, Zoloft

I cant take any of these meds.  I am so screwed.  Each one makes me jittery, angry, can't focus or concentrate and they make me sweat like no tomorrow.  Anyone else have bad reactions like this?

azalea makes a very valid point! All meds carry with them side effects. Some take longer than others for our bodies to adjust to. My question would be, "have you given each of these various medications adequate time for the side effects to abate and the med to reach a therapeutic level?"
I would suggest you have a talk with your prescribing doctor about your side effects. There may be something in each of these particular meds that you are hypersensitive to. Which is ONLY a guess on my part.
Many of us have had to try a number of different meds before we finally hit on the one that we can live with. I hope you find yours soon!
Let us know how you're doing, OK?
Peace

Many of the medications you mentioned have side effects when you first start taking them.  The side effects usually go away after the 1st few weeks of treatment.  In addition, you can minimize the side effects by starting at a very low dose and slowly increasing the dose.
