dear priyadarsani
the tablet sizodon is NOT an antidepressant ; but an anti psychotic drug i.e. for controlling odd behaviour and other such features. sizodon may result in some abnormal body movements,shaking of hands and weight gain. your brother possibly needs a review of diagnosis and drugs. take care.
