Hello, Jen! How are you?

There are several other options that might help you, such as SNRI antidepressants, tricyclic antidepressants, some antipsychotics and some anticonvulsants.

The FDA lists many of the side effects profiles as being very similar and possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, weight changes and dry mouth.

It's really a matter of working with your doctor to find the one that works best for you.

Does anyone else have any advice or suggestions to offer?
