HiT hanks for using Chat Doctor Most of the antidepressants have side effects and few are common in all. Same in case of cymbal ta. It does not have specific side effects related to old age. Nausea, somnolence, insomnia, and dizziness are the main side effects, reported by about 10% to 20% of patients. Rest side effects depend upon the dose of Chat Doctor.  In higher doses, chances of side effects are more. Thanks
