Antidepressant Negative Effects

If these people were factored in, the true percentage of persons experiencing side effects would increase significantly. Another third drop out or switch drugs within six months.
When looking at long-term risks from taking SSRI’s, several problems stand out. One is the persistent sexual dysfunction that a significant percentage of users experience. Another problem concerns the increased risk of liver toxicity when SSRI’s are combined with many other drugs. These are the people who are most at risk of liver problems that occur when SSRI’s are taken along with other medications.
A third problem is the deteriorating health of those who take SSRI’s.
Long term side effects are very rarely studied. Even long term effectiveness of depression medications are rarely studied. And when they are, what is a person to believe?
Consider these conflicting statements regarding Effexor/Effexor(same drug, same company – effexor is marketed in the US whileEffexor is marketed in the UK). If it hasn’t been ‘systematically evaluated in controlled trials’, how do they know it is ‘efficacious during long-term treatment’?
