Gotta love the pharma industry!

This is why I never take those commercials seriously. 90% of it is spent talking about the side effects!

Don't forget the suicidal actions

Damn antidepressants

The reason that anti-depressants can cause suicidal ideation is because if they work then they increase motivation and energy levels before they increase overall mood, so you end up more motivated to kill yourself. Always thought that was ironic. Also why suicide is more common in bipolar patients, especially when they have a manic upswing. The more you know.

I was on antidepressants for two weeks before I tried to kill myself.
