Here's one you may have seen:

Interestingly, only 30% discontinued antidepressants because of side-effects. I would have thought more.
In a not entirely separate issue, the authors state that "It seems likely that the majority of antidepressant recipients do not have major depression". 20% discontinued antidepressants for lack of therapeutic effect. Many these may have been responders whom discontinued prematurely. However, others may have failed simply because they did not have major depressive disorder.
This is a really interesting study. I wish the full text were available.
