What are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)?

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used to treat depression and other psychiatric disorders like panic attacks, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc. This class of medication works by increasing the amount of serotonin (a feel-good neurotransmitter that’s really important for mood) available to your brain.

Examples of SSRIs include: paroxetine (brand name Paxil), fluoxetine (Prozac/Sarafem), sertraline (Zoloft), and citalopram (Celexa).

Common side effects include decreased sex drive, nausea or vomiting, and drowsiness.
