Antidepressants are not controlled substances and drug seeking behaviour has not been scene in people taking antidepressants. It can be...

No. Bupropion (aka Wellbutrin) is known as an atypical antidepressant in that it prevents the reuptake of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine (to a lesser extent). Typical tricyclic antidepressants only block reuptake of serotonin and norepinephrine. It's unique dopamine reuptake inhibition capability allows it to be used to treat nicotine addiction (marketed as Zyban) and, to some extent, attention deficit disorder. Furthermore, it lacks the classic three ring chemical structure of tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). Here are a list of some common TCAs: imipramine (tofranil) amitriptyline (Elavil/Endep) doxepin (adapin) nortrypyline...

There isn't one. Mirtazapine a.k.a. Remeron is a so-called NASSA drug, even harder to commit suicide with than SSRI medicines. There have been a few studies, where people have ingested doses from 600 mg to even 2200 mg. Only a few experienced arrhythmia, but apart from that, there were no severe symptoms. This is very individual though, there are some reported deaths from mirtazapine overdose, but it is highly unlikely that one could commit suicide with this medicine.

Xanax and Lexapro are similar in that they are both approved to treat anxiety, but their mechanism of action and indications for use are somewhat different.

I have stopped Effexor cold turkey in the past and I experienced headaches, nausea, diarrhea, disturbing dreams, night sweats, flu-like symptoms, vertigo, and extreme irritation. Other people have stopped the medication slowly and experienced the same things when they took...
