## Resource

Most of the serotonin medications are pretty darn safe, but they come with a pretty long list of adverse effects that can make patients really uncomfortable. In the previous few episodes, I went over some of the biggest and most dangerous adverse effects. On this episode I want to go over the rest of them. I'll talk about the adverse effects in general and then each of the ones we haven't gone over yet, and I'll also talk about what to do about them if they happen. How to talk to patients about them and how to manage them if they occur. These effects can occur with any of the medications we've discussed thus far and with many of the ones to come. Serotonin is a major target for depression and anxiety, so it's important to understand these in more depth so that we can educate our patients, so let's go!
