RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Side effects of antidepressants: An overview JF Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO Cleve Clin J Med FD Cleveland Clinic SP 351 OP 361 VO 73 IS 4 A1 Khawam, Elias A. A1 Laurencic, Georgia A1 Malone, Donald A. YR 2006 UL http://www.ccjm.org/content/73/4/351.abstract AB Adverse effects of antidepressant drugs can decrease compliance and delay recovery. It is therefore crucial to consider potential side effects when choosing an antidepressant. Although there is no perfect antidepressant that works quickly and is completely free of adverse reactions, newer antidepressants are safer, better tolerated, and associated with a lower rate of noncompliance.
