I am taking clonotril 0.5 mg, nexito 15 mg and oxeltra 150 mg in night for past 1 year, but now I am having edema. Swelling in legs arms face n stomach. Is this antidepressant tablets would be a reason? Can I stop these medicines.

Hello, sometimes these medications increases the overall weight which resembles edema. That is safe to occur. To reduce this you will have to avoid fatty food and exercise and it will come down but still other cause of edema should be ruled out as it can also occur due to other physical problem which should be ruled out. So I suggest you consult your doctor.

It is unlikely the medicines you are taking now are the reason for edema and swelling of face. Consult a physician immediately to find out the reasons behind the same. Good luck.
