Initially, when taken during the first week, there is a chance of experiencing side effects such as nausea, headaches and possible insomnia, along with jitteriness. These side effects usually go away with time (a few days to a week or so). However, there are about 30 different antidepressants on the market. So, if one is not well tolerated, another may be substituted (especially if weight gain or sexual dysfunction concerns occur over time).
