| | Depression board: HealthBoards - The new FDA list of antidepressants that may cause suicidal thoughts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-25) |
 | | There are 10 popular antidepressants on that list, consisting of paxil, prozac, zoloft, remeron, celexa, wellbutrin and some others that the FDA is suggested be labeled for possible suicidal thoughts, along with additional panic attacks, anxiety, etc. |
 | | But until that is settled, advisers to the FDA called last month for stronger warnings to doctors and parents that the antidepressants may cause agitation, anxiety and hostility in a subset of patients who may be unusually prone to rare side effects. |
 | | On Monday, the FDA followed its advisers' recommendation and issued a public health advisory putting doctors, patients, families and other caregivers on notice to be particularly vigilant for signs of worsening depression or suicidal thoughts at the beginning of anti-depressant therapy or whenever the dose is changed. |
