    Asmwe are all different its hard to reccomend. I take Sertraline, but also hearnthat Citalopram is good too. Maybe ask your gp for either one, start on low dose, i startd on 50mg for a couple,of weeks and see how you go, then if you feel u need bit more you can increase dosage

      My problem is the dizziness as a side effect. Celexa was the worst it woke me up at 3 am with what felt like a Menierres attack x2. Took me a week to recover.

      I've taken Zoloft before too but it made me feel like crap as well. I guess I might have to just suck it up. I just hate being dizzy and then hate taking something that makes it worse you know?

    Please look up scm muscle issues. I know it does not make sense but many people have issues with their scm.
