Original Abstract of the Article

Major Research Findings

Antidepressant side effects are common and can affect how well treatment works for people with major depressive disorder (MDD). 2 One study found that the severity of side effects changed over time and was related to how well treatment worked. 1 Another study looked at how side effects of a specific type of antidepressant (SSRI) were related to differences in people's genes, specifically those involved in how the brain uses serotonin.

Reasons for Side Effects

Antidepressant side effects are thought to be caused by changes in the levels of chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. 2 , 1

Comparison between Studies

Similarities between Studies

Differences between Studies

The 2 study looked at how the severity of side effects changed over the course of treatment. The 1 study investigated the association between antidepressant side effects and genetic variation in the serotonin system in anxious, older adults participating in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) escitalopram.

Notes on Applying to Real Life

Side effects of antidepressants can vary from person to person. 2 , 1

If you are concerned about side effects, talk to your doctor.

Limitations of Current Research

There is still a lot we don't know about antidepressant side effects. 2 , 1

Future Research Directions

More research is needed on antidepressant side effects. 2 , 1

Conclusion

Antidepressant side effects can impact how well depression treatment works. 2 , 1

If you are concerned about side effects, talk to your doctor.
