I agree with mrsD - all ADs can have bad side-effects.
I am currently on Venlafaxine and have well-managed primary hypertension. My GP (who I chose carefully because he knows about MH things as well as physical health), knows this and checks me out carefully whenever I see him.
Apart from that most ADs come with what is called a "black box warning" label. This is legally (FDA) required in US. A black box warning label advises of known adverse side-effects of many prescription drugs (not just ADs).
I recommend that people read the black box warning label carefully for any drug which they may have been prescribed.
