Well, being in a positive mood I thought I would expand on the earlier post
asking what was your worst antidepressant medication.
The most effective meds that I have taken are:

Citalopram and esCitalopram.
Same thing really anyway. Had 5 years completely symptom free, could not
believe how wonderful life was without depression. Fuc&ed it all up by
taking cocaine one night and was ill for 18 months.

Lamotragine (Lamictal).
Wonderful drug that has really given me a new lease of life - works well
with esCitalopram for me.

Best and safest all around: LAMICTAL.
Why? Yes there is the rash, but you know it if you get it. Beyond that
here's my reasoning. It's best for people with serious complex
depression problems (not people popping paxil cause their puppy died)
because it is safe (first) and effective.
Safe is important. If you have BP or latent BP then SSRIs and friends
are going to make it worse--permanently. Trigger.
Then, it is effective in many people w/not so bad side effects (except
the flesh eating rash--just kidding) who don't respond well to the big
guns.
As for worst: DOXEPIN then ELAVIL

wb...good to hear you are doing well.

My best drug has been pamelor (nortriptyline)...have had no
luck with SSRIs.

I'm currently on 60mg of Cymbalta and have noticed some improvement
but I would expect more from something so new.

At various times,
Wellbutrin: for energy
Depakote: for irrational anger
Dostinex: for anhedonia and lack of libido
Selegiline: for energy, anhedonia, and lack of libido
