Well, honestly, because meds effect everyone differently, I don't think that question can be answered...though I could be wrong.
SSRI's were thought to be the wonder drug, but, they make me crazy, so, count me out with them. They cause sexual dysfunction and often weight gain.
Welbutrin has few of the "normal" side effects; little to no weight gain; no sexual dysfunction. But, it can bring on panic attacks and/or aggitation. It's not an SSRI.
There are older drugs, but, the SSRI's were thought to be a welcome relief to their side effects. OY!
So, pick your poison, it seems.....
And discuss this with your doctor. Cuz, in the end, only you and your medical provider can determine what's best for you.

Shalom!
