When taking an anti-depressant drug, an individual can and will experience some unpleasant and even dangerous side effects and certain individuals are at a higher risk than others:

• Teens and adolescents can have an increase in risk of suicide while taking anti-depressants.
• People that are 65 or older because the SSRI medication could cause an increase for fractures, falls, and even bone loss.
• Pregnant women are at a higher risk because with the use of SSRIs late in a woman’s pregnancy may cause the baby to have short term withdrawals after delivery.

Some typical symptoms could include restlessness, mild respiratory problems, weak cry, and tremors. There is also the danger of taking antidepressants because it can cause an increase in the depression instead of a decrease, leading to a risk of suicide. Everyone that is taking an antidepressant medication should be closely watched, children and young adults are particularly at risk for suicide thoughts and behaviors. This suicidal risk factor is mainly at its highest during the very first month or two of taking antidepressant medicine. If this has been a persons first time being on depression medicine or if a person has had a change in their dosage, they need to be monitored closely.

Some signs of medication making the problem worse are insomnia, hostility, anxiety, and extreme agitation especially if these symptoms appear suddenly or even if they rapidly deteriorate. Therapist or your doctor should be contacted immediately if these signs are noticed by yourself or a loved one.
