My doctor says I need to start taking medication for depression. What are the side effects?
assistant
The most common side effect of anti-depressant medications is nausea, which can be managed by taking your medication with food or a small snack. Other less common but more serious side effects include dizziness, headaches, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and sexual dysfunction. Talk to your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms while taking these medications.
