What is a high depression score?
A "high depression score" typically refers to the result of a standardized clinical test, such as the Hamilton Depression Scale or the Beck Depression Inventory.

Can antidepressants make you sleep a lot?
Some antidepressants are quite sedating. If you have been sleeping more than you want to, check with your prescriber. First, he or she should check if excessive sleeping could be caused by something else. If the antidepressant is the likely cause, he or she should discuss with you an alternative. Bupropion, for instance, does not cause sedation. READ MORE
