| | Gale Encyclopedia of Medicine: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors |
 | | Because SSRIs work on the central nervous system, they may add to the effects of alcohol and other drugs that slow down the central nervous system, such as antihistamines, cold medicine, allergy medicine, sleep aids, medicine for seizures, tranquilizers, some pain relievers, and muscle relaxants. | | | Therefore, when people begin SSRI therapy, it is important to continue taking the medication, even if an improvement in mood doesn't begin immediately. | | | SSRIs are about as effective as other antidepressants. |

| | Clinical Pharmacology of SSRI's: How SSRIs as a Group Are Similar |
| | In fact, the manufacturer may actually have a disincentive out of concern that the demonstration of such a relationship might be used to suggest that TDM is necessary with their medication and thus create a perception that may adversely impact the clinical acceptance of the drug. | | | Different SSRIs have approval for several of these other indications in different countries, others have applications pending for such approval, and still others are in clinical testing in hopes of obtaining data that will support application for formal labeling for these conditions. | | | This scenario is based on the known pharmacology of these drugs and pharmacokinetic principles, but to date there are no studies which have tested whether this scenario meaningfully affects clinical outcome in such multiple drug overdoses. |

| | Clinical Pharmacology of SSRI's: How SSRIs as a Group Differ From TCAs |
| | SSRIs, because of their more focused pharmacology, have a much more limited range of pharmacodynamically mediated drug-drug interactions than do TCAs. | | | This is an advantage from a clinical pharmacology perspective, but is often viewed as a cumbersome disadvantage from a clinical practice standpoint. | | | This change is just one example of the reduced risk of serious pharmacodynamic drug interactions due to the more focused pharmacology of SSRIs. |

| | Suicidal Behaviour Caused By Antidepressants "Cannot Be Ruled Out" |
| | For instance, they should make doctors aware that SSRIs and tricyclics may induce or worsen suicidal behaviour during the early phases of treatment and encourage them to monitor patients closely. | | | Increased risks of suicide and self harm caused by SSRIs cannot be ruled out, say the authors, but larger trials with longer monitoring periods are needed to assess the balance of risks and benefits fully. | | | The finding that SSRIs and tricyclic antidepressants have a similar risk profile with respect to suicide and self harm is reassuring, say the authors. |

| | A significant increase in the odds of suicide attempts (odds ratio 2.28, number needed to treat to harm 684) was observed for patients receiving SSRIs compared with placebo. | | | It appears this results from an action of SSRIs on GABA neurons rather than as a secondary consequence of mood improvement. | | | An increase in the odds ratio of suicide attempts was also observed in comparing SSRIs with therapeutic interventions other than tricyclic antidepressants (1.94, 239). |

| | Indeed arguably SSRIs almost in principle cannot be proven to work – this is not to say that the SSRI group of drugs should not have been licensed. | | | But what is clear from the difficulties in demonstrating a treatment effect is that while it might be possible to demonstrate an effect, and such a demonstration can help support the use of these drugs clinically, the evidence base does not warrant any generalisation to claims that antidepressants work for children. | | | Aside from akathisia, there are two other mechanisms by which SSRIs may lead to or contribute to suicide – emotional blunting/lability and psychotic decompensation. |
