Some facts about antidepressants
For the last thirty years the drug companies tries to reduce the number of side effects to minimum in their products. However resulted, with the decrease of the side effects, the efficiency of medicine also decreases. That is why sometimes doctors prescribe medicine that has a lot of side effects but that is more efficient in fighting the depression.
Moreover the probability of side effects appearance is often overvalued. Doctors usually warn their patients about the possible dangerous side effects. Almost all medicines have the side effects, but they are not reflected among all people. It is impossible to predict whether they are going to be reflected in a certain person.
The side effects of antidepressants are usually reflected a lot and disappear or decrease essentially by the first week of their taking. However it is necessary to remember that as a rule the reflection of the side effects intensiveness depends on how strong antidepressants are. To decrease the intensiveness of side effects it is necessary to decrease its doze and to make it larger gradually. Sometimes to achieve the necessary doze it takes two weeks. And if side effects are reflected too vividly the doctor can refuse from taking it and prescribes another.
There is common opinion that antidepressants influence and change the temper of a person. But it is not true. Antidepressants allow you to show all your personal qualities and features of temper. The only thing is that it may make you more active and will add you energy.
