How can I support someone on antidepressants and sleeping pills?

Can you answer Wuzza’s question about Depression?:

My boyfriend has (with a little push) managed to seek help for his depression, which he has suffered from for almost two years. I am thrilled that he has made this step, but I don’t want to do anything to mess things up for him.

The doctors have put him on antidepressants and sleeping pills, but I’m afraid I don’t know which ones.

How can I support him through the dodgy side effects and help the medication help him? What should I be doing, what should I not be doing?
