Antidepressants' side effects such as nausea, weight gain or sleep problems can be common at initial stages of using. For many people, these symptoms improve within weeks of starting an antidepressant. However, in some cases, antidepressants cause side effects that don't go away.

At times side effects seem intolerable, and you may be tempted to stop taking an antidepressant or to reduce your dose on your own. Don't do it. Your symptoms may return, and stopping your antidepressant suddenly may cause withdrawal symptoms. Talk to your doctor for any alteration or taper.
