About 25% of people feel sick from antidepressants. In most cases, it gets better after two to three weeks. But not always.

Mediators are chemical compounds that act as mediators between nerve cells. Signals are transmitted. If the balance of this chemistry is disturbed, then a person can experience a variety of mental disorders.
Antidepressants push neurotransmitters in the brain in the right direction. But they do it rudely and with side effects. Imagine someone kicks you in the head. Can it make you sick? Can. Sometimes it makes me sick.
Withdrawal syndrome

Different antidepressants are eliminated from our body in different ways. Some wash out slowly, while others take several hours. In the latter case, abrupt withdrawal of antidepressants can become bad. Will break. And, as with any withdrawal, there may be nausea. This is such a nonspecific symptom when canceling something outrageous.
Action on the stomach
