Side Effects of 30 Antidepressants Ranked and Compared: Lancet Study

 A groundbreaking study published in The Lancet analyzed 30 different antidepressants to understand their physical side effects, providing valuable insights for patients and doctors.

• The study is the first comprehensive ranking of antidepressants, revealing that they differ significantly in their effects on weight, heart health, and blood pressure.

• Data from over 58,000 participants was used for the analysis, which included a range of drugs, from older tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline to modern selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as sertraline (Zoloft).

• Some medications studied may not be available in the United States.

This comparison equips both patients and healthcare providers with critical information that can help in selecting the most appropriate antidepressant based on potential side effects.
