seeing a psychologist is a good recommendation, especially to help address the real reasons behind the need for antidepressants. I take Wellbutrin too, Hahaha. Paxil did not work well for me, but you know everybody's chemistry is a little different so it's really hard to make a good recommendation. It's almost like a try it and see kind of thing. One antidepressant that doesn't get mentioned too often is Remeron. It is fairly mild; so mild in fact, that I was taking it WITH Wellbutrin when I was at the real bottom of my depression. Remeron is a good one for CFers I'm told, because it increases appetite - although that might not be a desired effect for some, as Emily mentioned. At any rate, my advice is to definitely get hooked up with a good therapist, especially because it will take awhile to adjust to each medication to see if it actually works and that usually means a few weeks, at least, of side effects before it actually starts working like it should. Sometimes it may seem horrid at first, but you really need to stick with it until your body gets adjusted to it to find out if it really will work for you. That said, if it makes you suicidal or the side effects are unbearable, stop stop stop.
Good luck and keep us posted!
