Antidepressants.

kristin
I just finished my third week of antidepressants. I was wondering of people who are on them or have taken them, how long do the side effects last? My doctor prescribed me a lower dosage of the same med a week ago due to nausea. ( I do not think I am pregnant). I don't get it every day. It is more of an intestinal upset stomach.

Side effects normally subside after 3-4 weeks if your medication is taken regularly as prescribed xx hopefully it lets up soon and you start feeling better. Be kind to yourself in the meantime and keep talking to your doctor 💕

My doctor started me on a low does of antidepressants to give my body time to get used to it before he upped the dose. As far as nausea I was fine after the first month.

Thanks! This helps! I did 1 week on wellbutrin 150mg but I had nausea almost every other day, she lowered it to 75mg a day but it is now an immediate release instead of suspended release. I don't have other side effects like dizziness anymore, just the nausea but not as often and it is milder.

Finding the right type at the right dose can be a nightmare, it can take a while to get it just right. If you still feel sick after about 3/4 weeks at that dose go back to the docs and they can either lower it or try a different type. You'll get there :)
