Dear lybrate-user, instead of worrying about the long term side effects that may come may not come, think about the beneficial effects of these tablets on your quality of life. Please be on regular follow up with your psychiatrist who will be on the lookout for long term side effects before prescribing further.

Amilite is a tricyclic antidepressant and fluoxetine and fluvoxamine are selective serotonin rey-take inhibitors. Overall both classes of medicines act by changing the functioning of neurotransmitters in your brain. Due to this, after taking these medicines for sometime, they treat depression and various anxiety disorders. When these medicines are discontinued, they don't leave any long term effect on the brain. Some people may experience a little dizziness or headache or other such mild to moderate symptoms for a few weeks when these medicines are stopped, again because of neurotransmitter changes. But, other than that, no effect.

It doesn't have much side effects for the brain as it is to infact improve your imbalance in the brain. It may have some side effects to your body but not more than the side effects of depression or anxiety or any other psychiatric issues. Treating the disorder is more important than considering the side effects of medicines.
