Hi Sirnech, as far as I know, one of the major side effects of most anti-depressants is dry mouth. I suffered from severe depression when I was about 3 to 4 months post cancer treatment. I had to be hospitalized and received professional help including psychiatrist, clinical psychologist and anti-depressants. My psychiatrist told me that the medicine given to me did not aggravate dry mouth and one side effect was weight gain. That was good to me, in fact. I have taken that anti-depressant for over a year and I didn't realize its effect on my dry mouth. I think the doctor would prescribe something suitable to your husband. About your first question, I didn't experience any serious problem of dizziness or off-balance after treatment.I may feel a bit dizzy if I have been sitting for a long time and suddenly stand up. I think it is just because my body is in general weaker than before after fighting the battle.

Karen.
