A member asked:

Why do most anti-depressant cause stomachache or headaches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Serotonin receptors: There are more serotonin receptors in your gut than in your brain. When you take an SSRI, it is common to get side effects such as diarrhea for this reason. The receptors in your gut usually adjust to the increased levels of serotonin from these medications over the course of time.
