About

The Frequency, Intensity, Burden of Side Effects Rating (FIBSER) scale was designed by Dr. Stephen Wisniewski for use in the U.S. STAR*D effectiveness study. The FIBSER Scale was developed to quantify side effects. It is a 3-item scale to assess side effects from antidepressant treatment. It has limited research studies validating its psychometric properties. However, it’s a simple, quick, self-report, questioner which was then revised by Dr. Lam to be used in a clinical setting.
