Anti depressants

I know they don't all work the same for everyone.
I used to take Zoloft. They helped. After a while however, my anxiety built up. I started getting these anger flashes and would cry as if I had lost someone. I didn't like it so I stopped taking them and got worse.
I now take Wellbutrin. I was happy when this doc gave them to me because they help in weight loss. They're also for aid in smoking because up I told her I smoke marijuana. But why would I want to stop doing that. Not that it does. I've been taking them for a month. I see slight changes. I still have lots of anger in me. I don't know why. Stupid things mostly.
What anti depressants do you take and please give me pros and cons.

The thing is its different for every person in how they react. I take Ecitalipram (lexapro) as Citalipram had some side effects. The only thing i could say about lexapro is that it can give you clicky jaw and tense the muscles in that area, as the frontal lobe is very sensitive to changes in serotonin, and it controls muscle movement.
I find smoking weed really helps with the side effects when your starting those meds, got rid of the nausea and helps with the appetite.

Mirtazapine is one to avoid at all costs, it makes you a zombie and it gave me panic attacks. Though that being said someone else said it worked wonders for them, they're a sleep aid as well as an old school SNRI, so its not used often.

@Menaa8D: Yeah also, it takes 2-3 months to really feel a change with anti depressants as its an accumulative effect, so try and be patient with it.
