3.Take It the Right Way
Ask your doctor when to take your medicine, whether to take it with food, and if you should skip taking other medicines or foods at the same time. Even vitamins, supplements, and non-prescription medicines like cough syrup can affect antidepressants. Ask what to do if you miss a dose: Take it as soon as you can or wait until the next scheduled dose?
4.Pay Attention to Side Effects
Many side effects go away within a week or 2, but others may be a sign you need to adjust what you’re taking. Look for insomnia, nausea, weight gain, dizziness, and sexual problems. Keep track of any issues so you can help your doctor fine-tune your treatment. If you ever have thoughts of suicide, talk to your family or doctor right away.
