Selecting Antidepressant Medication
Okay, now that you have completed reading about medication selection and management, it is time to start applying that information. We are about to go see William and talk to him about prophylactic antidepressant therapy. Before doing that, however, let's get ready by deciding what medication we would recommend to him. You may want to review the Antidepressant Medication handout. Using the information in the table, determine which of the options below would be a suitable medication and dosage to try.

Click on the medication and dosage you would give to William:

A) fluoxetine at 40 mg/day

B) citalopram at 10 mg/day

C) sertraline at 200 mg/day
