Side effects for anti-depressants: if the doc didn’t tell you, it’s an experimental road you’re on to find what meds work, which don’t and if there’s any improvement. If it’s effects are detrimental (call the doc and ask s/he how long you should try it and how to get off it if necessary) then ask to stop.
Good for you for starting to address your issues; it’s not often an easy road, but if you don’t start somewhere, you’ll certainly languish in an unhappy state.
Good luck and keep us posted on what’s happening, and how you’re progressing?
cheers, Jim
