Drug Side Effects

The most commonly reported include the following:

    dizziness
    headaches
    nausea
    sexual side effects
    stomach upset

Side effects are usually temporary although sometimes persistent.  They may also need a dosage adjustment or a change of medication.

If you do experience a side effect…

Contact your doctor right away – even if you are not sure that a symptom is caused by a medication.

Do not stop taking a medication without first consulting the doctor who prescribed the medicine, as abruptly stopping may cause other health risks.

Seriously consider using a non-drug form of treatment such as cognitive or even CBT.
