You should take what works for you. There's no "this drug is the real one that works."
Each drug has differences in the way it works and the effects on an individuals brain chemistry.
A psychiatrist would start you on a low dose of a given drug and increase dosage while monitoring impact and side effects. There's no good way to find the best drug for you without literally trying them all. But that's a long annoying process, and I think most people just stop trying when they find one that's "good enough."
