Research Notes on Depression Medication Side Effects
Side effects in all classes of depression medication are common.1 Some side effects are only present during the first few weeks of medication use while others may persist and worsen.1 For some, the side effects are so troublesome that patients consider stopping their use of antidepressants.1
Fast Facts:
- Nausea, weight gain, and sexual side effects are reported.2
- Fatigue, insomnia, dry mouth, blurred vision, constipation, dizziness, and restlessness are noted side effects.2
- Side effects can be managed and it is important to report side effects to a physician.2
- Stopping medication abruptly due to side effects is not advised as the cessation can cause other health problems.2
