ZOLOFT, PROZAC, PAXIL todos son iguales ante la depresión...(según la "ley")


Major Depressive Disorder

Overall, we found no substantial differences in comparative efficacy and effectiveness of second-generation antidepressants for treatment of MDD (Tables 2, 3, and 4 and Figures 2, 3, and 4). This finding pertains to the acute, continuation, and maintenance phases of treatment; to patients with accompanying symptom clusters; and to subgroups defined by age, race or ethnicity, sex, or comorbid conditions (we found only sparse evidence for subgroups). Nevertheless, second-generation antidepressants are not identical drugs. They differ somewhat with respect to onset of action and frequency of some adverse events. Generally, effectiveness studies with less stringent eligibility criteria provided results similar to those of efficacy trials, indicating good generalizability of our findings to primary care populations.
