Abstract
Newer antidepressant drugs cause fewer, less-severe side effects and t herefore usually elicit better patient compliance than do older drugs. The newer drugs have slightly differing mechanisms of action and effe cts and thus offer additional options for tailoring treatment to the i ndividual patient. Yet they are not completely innocuous and can cause serious drug interactions.
