   Side effects that you should report to your doctor or health care professional as soon as possible:

   * allergic reactions like skin rash, itching or hives, swelling of the face, lips, or tongue
   * black or bloody stools, blood in the urine or vomit
   * fast, irregular heartbeat
   * hallucination, loss of contact with reality
   * painful or prolonged erection (men)
   * seizures
   * suicidal thoughts or other mood changes
   * trouble passing urine or change in the amount of urine
   * unusual bleeding or bruising
   * unusually weak or tired
   * vomiting

   Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your doctor or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):

   * change in appetite, weight
   * change in sex drive or performance
   * constipation or diarrhea
   * difficulty sleeping
   * drowsy
   * headache
   * increased sweating
   * muscle pain or weakness
   * tremors

   All the SSRIs can make anxiety worse and can cause nausea and sexual side effects.

   Not trying to copy the first answer but yes, most SSRI’S almost always cause stomach upset that I know first hand. Some can make anxiety worse as well but both may go away after your body adjusts to the medication. I have a good antidepressant for you to try that I was on & you take it night because it helps you sleep & it worked wonders for my anxiety & didn’t seem to cause stomach upset. It’s called Remeron (brand name & there is a generic). I can’t remember if it is an SSRI medication but you could ask your Doctor. I did notice weight gain & a little bit of a "pill hangover" in the morning but you have to understand, they all have some side effects. Good luck:)
