text: how long should side effects last? i am taking the anti deppresion pill eeferox 175mg 1 daily i have been taking them now for over two months.  i still have the side effects to these pills.  should i be worried about it?  how long do the side effects suppose to last? i'm wondering why you put this in 'alternative medicine'.  good alternatives to the meds are plenty of exercise and st john's wort is the herbal equivalent to a well-known anti-depressant.  the meds are just blocking the symptoms and not getting to the source.  you will always have side effects and they are also addictive, so you would need to come off them gradually.   http://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing
