“Can antidepressants cause you to hear voices?”
I am a 38 year old female. I want to know if antidepressants can cause you to hear voices?

They should not. You need to see a physician because sometimes if depression gets worse you can hear voices.
Antidepressants should improve your wellness and ability to function; anything that is of possible adverse reaction to the medication should be discussed with your psychiatrist immediately, as some reactions may dissipate in a very short time of taking the medication (e.g. nausea). However, certain side-effects or adverse reactions (e.g. "hear voices") are extremely rare and would likely result in discontinuation of that particular medication.
