Depends: It can depend on the type of antidepressant that you are taking. During the first week or 2 is when you may notice more side effects as your body adjusts to the medication.This may be nausea, headaches, in some cases anxiety or nothing at all.These effects should be temporary. You should discuss with your doctor or pharmacist regarding the side effects from your medication as they can vary.
