Correct. A couple other popular SSRIs are Citalopram (Celexa, and a few other brand names) and it's partner in crime Escitalopram (Lexapro). Those are the 5 I'd deal with, though everyone has their preferences. I think there are 26ish anti-depressants (across all classes), but many are just tweaked formulations (or generics) of each other, no sense re-inventing the wheel I guess.
