Antidepressants: Most antidepressants are equivalent in effectiveness against depressive symptoms, but side effect profiles are very different. Older (tricyclics, maoi's) are known for problems like sedation, heart rhythm disturbances, dry mouth, etc or dietary restrictions but still work well. Newer medicines often have less of these side effects but do have others. They all need about the same time for effect.
