Common Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor Side Effects in Older Adults Associated with Genetic Polymorphisms in the Serotonin Transporter and Receptors: Data from a Randomized Controlled Trial

Genetic variation in the serotonin system may predict who develops common SSRI side effects and why. More work is needed to further characterize this genetic modulation and to translate research findings into strategies useful for more personalized patient care.
