Hello,

All medicines, including anti-depressives can have different side-effects in different people. While Effexor can make you sweat, other anti-depressives like Wellbutrin may not do so.

There are a number of anti-depressives which you can discuss with your doctor. Wellbutrin is a good drug for depression. Other drugs like Cymbalta and lamictal can also control depression.

But frankly, different depressants have different effects in various people. You will have to take different types to find out what works best for you.

The following link will take you to a forum on uses of different anti-depressants:
