Dear Lybrate-User, There is no need to know the side effect of recita 5. Just take it and see whether any new complaint has come up. Inform the doctor without stopping. He knows which is the side effect and which are due to your depressed mood. The side effect of recita will come up from day one whereas the effect of it may take 2-3 weeks. 5 mg is a low dose to get recita's side effects. Take it for 2-3 weeks and report to the psychiatrist again. He may increase it if you don't find relief.

Hello friend, As you are about to start the medicine, pls trust your doctor and treatment. This is a very generic depression medicine and allow it to settle down to give some relief. Any medication will take min 2 to 3 weeks time work. In addition, also start few psychotherapy or mindset changes techniques, lifestyle changes, relaxation techniques, yoga etc to support your treatment. Be positive. You will be alright soon. Feel free to reach me online or through Lybrate chat for further assistance.

Don't be afraid, it is a very good medicine, and your psychiatrist has prescribed well. But no need for vitamin tablets and all. Just take recita, there can be initial side effects ike yawning, mild anxiety and some gastritis which will disappear in 2-4 weeks. It s antidepressant effect will also take 2-4 weeks to be felt.
