Antidepressants are medicines to treat people who are depressed or have symptoms of depressions. These drugs are very strong and sometimes addictive and must be prescribed by a physician. The classification of antidepressants comes primarily from how they act after taking them on the human brain. There are many different types of antidepressants that a person may be prescribed. Some examples of antidepressant medications include, amitriptyline, bupropion, citalopram, despramine, duloxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, imipramine, nortriptyline, paroxetine, sertraline, venlafaxine, and many more just to name a few. These antidepressants come with many different side effects that range from impaired thinking, insomnia, headaches, nausea, and in some cases more serious side effects can occur, over-medicating can cause death.
