Please consult a psychiatrist. You have too many doubts and you seem to have done a lot of research on the internet. Actual treatment and results and side effects vary from person to person and for different medicines.

Dear Sir There are numerous antidepressants available and the side effects may differ depending on the class of Antidepressant. Antidepressant can broadly be taken for a long term without any significant side effects. Long term side effects of some commonly used antidepressants are sexual problems, weight gain feeling apathetic.. However, not all the patients who take them suffer from these side effects.. Please do not stop or alter the medication without consulting your psychiatrist. Feel free to contact me through practo or online for further help Thanks Regards Dr Ankita Mishra
