It is true that there are usually side effects for medication. It is, however, something that should be taken into account when thinking about taking that step. Is it worth it to have nausea and stomach cramps (or whatever) and have a 90% chance of your depression being cured? That is for the individual to decide. If one drug does not work as well as another, or has worse side effects, it gets prescribed less. Medical drugs are getting more refined as we keep testing and studying their effects. Companies can only make money for as long as their product sells. And to do that, it needs to work, and better than the other drugs offered.
