My doctor told me that I need to take an antidepressant. What are the side effects of antidepressants?

The most common side effects of antidepressants include nausea, headaches, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and weight gain. Less common side effects may include insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, irritability, blurred vision, and sexual problems. In rare cases, some people may experience more serious side effects such as seizures, suicidal thoughts or behavior, and mania. It is important to discuss any concerns with your doctor before starting a new antidepressant.
