I take Wellbutrin. It came after a long string of SSRIs, and I take it with Effexor (an SSRI) to manage obsessional symptoms. The side effects of Wellbutrin are on average lesser than SSRIs, but be aware / mindful that SSRIs are a very wide class with varying side effects, targeting different symptoms. It can take some experimentation before you find the right fit, in terms of both relieving your depression and minimizing side effects. In my experience, a psychiatrist will generally start with their “preferred” / go-to SSRI, but a good doctor should be attentive to your specific symptoms of depression, and your reaction to the side effect profile. Then you can start tinkering to see what works.
