Woman fighting for prescription warnings after husband kills twi - WNCN: News, Weather
So this is about the role of Prozac/Paxil other ssri's in inducing psychosis in depressed individuals....logically to me if an antidepressant can induce mania I don't see why it can't also induce psychosis in that state. I don't think this is common but the outcomes are tragic....it's also interesting to me that antidepressants are typically considered so safe and normal compared to APs that your family doc can prescribe them and yet they have a much stronger black box warning...and seem to induce/worsen mental illness in some cases. This is exceptionally worrying given the current trend toward forced treatment for psych conditions... __________________ Hugs!

Antidepressants have always worsened my condition. They've induced mania and psychosis for me.

Hi Sometimes psychotic. I'm not too sure about antidepressants inducing psychosis. I take anti psychotics and antidepressants.I was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
I think the Haldol that I take is helping with the psychosis. I still feel depressed though. I also take meds for anxiety. I know when you take certain combinations of drugs, it can be harmful. My pdoc is careful about that. Piraeus __________________ Life's too short to make trouble out of small things.Kurt Nilsen. Destiny, destiny protect me from the world.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
