Antidepressants are prescription drugs that are often used for treating depression. Most of them work by increasing certain chemicals within the brain to help with depression symptoms. Several types of antidepressants are available, including tricyclic antidepressants, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. Side effects that have been reported with these medications include sleep changes, sexual problems, and weight changes.
