The most popular group of antidepressants are the SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors). Zoloft falls into this category, as do Prozac and Celexa. Fluoxetine (Prozac) and citalopram (Celexa) in breast milk give babies a higher dose than the other antidepressants in this class (Br J Clin Pharmacol 1997 Sep;44(3):295-8).

SSRI antidepressants with the greatest serotonin effect include Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil. Anafranil, another type of antidepressant used to treat obsessive compulsive disorder... has a strong effect. Antidepressants with an intermediate serotonin effect include Effexor and the SSRI antidepressant Celexa. Remeron, Serzone, Doxepin, and Wellbutrin have a low affect on serotonin.
