A 28-year-old woman presents to her primary care physician because of depressed mood. She states that she has been depressed for as long as she can remember and feels bad about herself almost all of the time. She states that her only happy moments were during her honeymoon 2 years ago, and during a ski trip in college when she felt “on top of the world.” She confides that for a couple weeks last month she felt life was no longer worth living. At that time, she was having extreme difficulty sleeping, a complete loss of energy, and a lack of appetite. A review of the patient’s history shows that during the past 2 years she has seen a physician for complaints of stomach upset, fatigue, headaches, and an unintentional 3.6-kg (8-lb) weight gain. Physical examination and results of laboratory tests are within normal limits.Which of the following is an adverse effect the patient may experience during the course of the treatment of this illness?
A.Agranulocytosis
B.Anorgasmia
C.Arrythmia
