My husban had a brain injury last year, he recovered well but now the side effect i am facing through is his anger, aggressiveness, and frustration. Doctors initially statrted Sensival 25 mg daily. Do you recommend it to be taken again or plz recommend any other anti-depressent with less side effects. He never stays happy and stay confuse and depress.
