Witch safer log term use paxil (paroxetine) or zoloft?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably the same: Studies show that these agents are fairly similar in effectiveness overall. There isn't any data comparing side effects. If you are trying to choose one, I would choose the one that improves your depression best. Some folks respond better to one or the other but we have no way of knowing that without just trying them.
