Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Weight gain, hot flashes and chills, insomnia, and nausea are potential side effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) commonly used to treat depression. Antipsychotics (A) may also be used in depression treatment, but they are more commonly associated with weight gain and sedation. Tricyclics (C) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (D) are older classes of antidepressants that are still used but tend to have more side effects such as dry mouth, dizziness, and constipation.
