I'm no expert but I think sertraline (or Zoloft if you are in the US) seems to be what many of the people on this site are taking. It has worked quite well for me and doesn't interfere with breastfeeding

I switched off desipramine....Im now taking effexor (6 days) but its not working yet. How long did it take for the zoloft to work?

they told me it would take about 2 weeks but it only really took the edge off initially. If you don't feel better after 2-4 weeks go back and up your dose. i started off on the lowest dose and it was ok until the slightest crisis and I was back to square one almost. I'm now on 100mgand I've never looked back! It did make me feel a bit sick and dizzy when I took it on an empty stomach though!!
