A major study finds significant side effect differences among 30 antidepressants, with SSRIs having fewer issues and some causing weight gain or heart changes.
A large Lancet study analyzing data from over 58,000 people finds significant differences in physical side effects among 30 antidepressants, including weight changes, heart rate shifts, and blood pressure variations within the first eight weeks.
SSRIs like sertraline and citalopram showed fewer side effects, while drugs such as amitriptyline and maprotiline were linked to substantial weight gain, and others like nortriptyline increased heart rate and blood pressure.
Agomelatine was associated with weight loss.
The findings support personalized prescribing, especially for those with heart disease or metabolic conditions, and call for shared decision-making and routine monitoring.
Long-term effects beyond eight weeks remain unclear, and researchers urge updated guidelines to improve treatment safety and adherence.
