Since my concussion, I have been through the following anti-depressants:
Prozac (fluoxetine)
Elavil (amitriptyline) - mostly for headache prevention
Celexa (citalopram)
I am currently on Effexor (venlafaxine). As far as energy level goes, it is better than some of the others. I have been having more frequent and intense suicidal ideation, but the doctor thinks it's because my dose is not high enough yet. I'm tapering up and hopefully that will help.
