SSRI Side Effect Help
One of our primary practice areas in the Decatur area relates to dangerous side effects caused by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs. These anti-depressants work by boosting serotonin levels in the brain.
Examples of commonly prescribed SSRIs include:
- Zoloft (sertraline)
- Prozac (fluoxetine)
- Paxil (paroxetine)
- Lexapro (escitalopram)
- Wellbutrin (bupropion)
- Celexa (citalopram)
Recent scientific studies show that women who take SSRIs are at a much greater risk to give birth to children with serious congenital heart defects, and other serious side effects.
If you or a loved one were prescribed SSRIs, and then gave birth to a child with congenital heart defects, or suffered directly from the side effects of SSRIs, we are standing by to offer our counsel.
