Other antidepressants
While nefazodone (Serzone) and venlafaxine (Effexor and Effexor
XR) are the recommended second-line medications for PTSD, it is
possible that other antidepressants may also be helpful. We include
them here because clinicians may prescribe them. These medications
include:
| Generic name |
Brand name |
| bupropion |
(Wellbutrin and Wellbutrin SR) |
| mirtazapine |
(Remeron) |
| nefazodone |
(Serzone) |
| trazodone |
(Desyrel) |
| venlafaxine |
(Effexor and Effexor XR) |
