Brief Answer:
Okay, listing the side effects as below

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Cap Prodep is fluoxetine and is taken for depression. It can cause side effects like mania states activation, heart problems like qt prolongation, bone fracture, cutaneous bleeding, sexual dysfunction, blurred vision etc.

Halidace is haloperidol. It can cause extrapyramidal syndrome (akathesia, dystonia, tardive dyskinesia, pseudo-parkinsonism), anticholinergic effects (constipation, blurred vision, urinary retention), dyspnea, rash, etc.

Bexol is trihexyphenidyl. It can cause dryness of mouth, vomiting, headache, urinary problems, etc.

Oleanz is olanzapine. It can cause sleepiness, increased appetite, edema, aganulocystosis, etc.

Zicam is clonazepam and it can cause sleepiness, CNS depression, constipation, drug dependence and misuse, etc.

I would have suggested these medicines for a major depression.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vaishalee
