Hello, Julie! How are you?

Yes, it is a classified as an antidepressant, though in a different class than Sertraline.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and weight changes.

Susan, that can happen for a few weeks, when you first start taking it, due to the way it shortens your REM phase of sleep. I've usually found that it takes about 3 weeks to improve.

Is there anything else I can help with?
