Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

It is actually best : To discuss your symptoms with your psychiatrist/ physician who can then develop a specific treatment plan that is tailored to you. There isn't any one best medication -but depending on your symptoms some may be better first choices than others.
