Anon Member,

Don't worry too much at this point about which one you should try, just work with your doctor on this. I imagine your insurance drug formulary allows exceptions if it is medically documented that you can't take what is on the formulary, but as far as you know at this point in time, any of those three will work fine.   I do note decreased libido on the Prozac. Ditto when I was on the Paxil...it is a quite common side effect of the SSRI's. No other lasting side effects for me on either Prozac or Paxil--but as noted before, the Paxil was really nasty to come off of. That doesn't mean it would be difficult for you however.

As I have read your post here, it sounds like you have a good handle on what you need. Trust yourself.
