What can I do to cope with depression medication side effects?
It's common for people who first start taking antidepressant medications to experience only side effects without the benefits. That's because it takes time for the medicines to affect symptoms. The most common reason people stop taking their medication is they don't like the side effects.
Your doctor can help reduce side effects by doing such things as changing the medication, altering the dose, and changing when and how you take it.
