I'd be careful about taking a poll on which drug people think is better. The results will include only the few people who respond and so will be statistically meangingless. The other problem is, that you may be a member of the minority who does better on the less favored drug -or something else entirely. Run the question by a doctor who has a grip on these medications, the research, trials, etc.
zoloft did NOTHING for my panic attacks. i was switched to sinequan to find no relief as well. i will be starting celexa next week. i can let you know how i feel in about 3 weeks
I couldn't sleep with Zoloft and had breakthrough panic attacks at a low dose. I am on Celexa (citilopram) and so far it works great. Everybody's different, though.
Hi Yardea:
IMO both are very good but as with all antidepressants it really depends on the individual. I was on Zoloft for 5 years then switched to Celexa when Zoloft exhausted and 5 years later I am on a combination of Zoloft & Celexa and just recently switched to Zoloft & Lexapro. Eventually my doctor wants to ween me off the Zoloft to see if the Lexapro will help on it's own. For everyone it is different. Follow your doctor's advice because it is different for everyone. Good luck :)
love Venora
