Drug alert: Warning:
SSRI in children and adolescents.
Currie's report effectively documents the full gamut of issues relating to
SSRI use.
Suicidal thoughts and attempts in depressed children and adolescents escalate in the month before starting
SSRI treatment and progressively decline in the 6 months after initiating

27, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- A low risk of serotonin syndrome is seen in association with concomitant use of triptans and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (
SSRI) or selective norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI) antidepressants, according to a study published online Feb.
The participants were part of a 2-year prospective study on the skeletal impact of
SSRI use in older adolescents, and the average length of study participation was 1.5 years.
SSRI use was associated with an increased risk of UGI bleeding in 15 case-control studies (393,268 patients; odds ratio [OR]=1.7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-1.9) and 4 cohort studies (53,681 patients; OR=1.7; 95% CI, 1.1-2.5).
