In reply to Prozac (fluoxetine) increases suicide? BMJ report, posted by isg on January 1, 2005, at 2:18:15
From what I understand, antidepressants can induce suicide, especially in the first few weeks of treatment. I think that the risk with Prozac is supposed to be a bit lower than with some of the other drugs.
But antidepressants are thought to prevent many more suicides than they cause. So all in all, they reduce the number of suicides.
Drug companies hide studies??? They wouldn't do that (lol).
