Hey, so I was originally prescribed Zoloft, but then I read of the rare but devastating effects of SSRIs &amp; SSNRIs and all. So I chickened out of that, and asked to try Buspar instead as it's overall the safest, though only works for some. 

Well it seemed to help a little but a few months in I don't notice a difference off of it. Aside from the fact it now makes me tired and feel cruddy. I'm past the refill date on it and it'll be obvious to the psychiatrist I've been skipping whenever I contact her soon.

Are there any other *generally safe* medications, without any rare but scary side effects/long-term issues? I just wish I could make myself take Zoloft but I can't, even though it'd probably help without issues.
