Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In that case, you can try fluoxetine. It is one of the oldest antidepressant and very cheaper. It is also very effective, but take longer period to show response. You have to stat from basic dose i.e. 20mg and gradually increase the dose. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper prescription and further treatment.
