tricyclic antidepressants like Amoxapine is common because it helps people beat the feeling of fatigue, feeling of hopelessness, guilt, helplessness, inability to feel pleasure or physical pain, unintended weight loss, etc.

On the other hand, MAO inhibitors are prescribed for people who find tricyclic antidepressants unhelpful. For these people, they often feel anxiety, excessive sleepiness and fatigue, specific phobia, obsessive-compulsiveness, etc. There has been progressive developments over the years to develop more effective drugs to help those who found the aforementioned medication not helpful. Newer antidepressant such as the serotonin reuptake inhibitors have recently been made available to public. And even as you’re reading this article, newer antidepressant drugs are being researched on and being developed to help people with depression and mental sickness. The newer drugs can help those who are not responsive to traditionally prescribed antidepressant drugs or experience adverse side effects when they take the prescriptions.

With so many plans and research being made and done on coming up with faster and more efficient antidepressant drugs, we no longer have to think that being depressed is an illness that we have to be ashamed about.
