    Author: Staudigl L, Becker T, Kösters M.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 2014 Aug; 139(34-35):1727-30. PubMed ID: 25116024.
    Abstract:
    The review summarises the evidence supporting the choice of an antidepressant in primary care. We report current guidance on the choice of antidepressants and the current use of antidepressants in Germany. Evidence for the comparative efficacy of modern antidepressants, such as venlafaxine, duloxetine or agomelatine will be summarized with respect to depressive and accompanying symptoms. Furthermore, differences in adverse events between antidepressants will be reviewed.
