Good morning. I've been taking aposerta 50 mg twice a day for a week now.
How long do the side effects last because I feel sleepy even after sleeping through the night, tinnitus and glassy eyes.
Please let me know if this condition is normal at the beginning of taking an antidepressant

Usually, the side effects disappear with the duration of use of the drug (the first 2-3 weeks). However, if you do not feel any improvement, it is worth reporting it to your attending physician.
Drowsiness, tiredness, tinnitus and visual disturbances are common side effects of ApoSerta - they affect up to 1 in 10 patients taking the drug.
Reporting side effects allows you to gather more information about the safety of medicines and update data on them, which can help other patients in the future. We wrote about how to report them here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/jak-i-dlaczego-zglaszac-dzialania-niepozadane
