Hi, my father is 48 years old ad he is taking SSRI medications for some time already. At the beginning of the therapy he experienced side effects like headache, dizziness, nausea and tremor. I would like to know if there are some other side effects and if they would disappear with time. Thanx.

Hi, my friend was also using SSRI and he experienced several side effects which you already mentioned. After some time when organism gets used to these medications all these symptoms will disappear. Unfortunately there are other chronic symptoms like sexual problems, insomnia and weight gain. These symptoms are more likely to stay.
