[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2060466, member: 1294"] Being right handed is a natural state to most people(right handed majority). Being under the influence of these drugs is not a natural state. [On March 22, 2004 the FDA published a Public Health Advisory that reiterates several of these side effects and states (in part) "Anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, akathisia (severe restlessness), hypomania, and mania have been reported in adult and pediatric patients being treated with antidepressants for major depressive disorder as well as for other indications, both psychiatric and non-psychiatric." (Click Links button at bottom of this page for a direct link to this FDA Warning.) On September 14, 2004 the FDA added a Black Box Warning in regard to antidepressants & suicidality in those under age 18. On September 14, 2004 the FDA mandated that pharmacies provide to all parents or guardians for those younger than 18 an Antidepressant Patient Medication Guide. This guide reads (in part) "Call healthcare provider right away if you or your family member has any of the following symptoms: Acting aggressive, being angry, or violent & acting on dangerous impulses." This Antidepressant Patient Medication Guide also states "Never stop an antidepressant medicine without first talking to a healthcare provider. Stopping an antidepressant medicine suddenly can cause other symptoms." (Click Links button at bottom of this page for a direct link to this FDA Antidepressant Guide.) On December 13, 2006, the Black Box Warning for suicidality was updated to include those under age 25. The Black Box Warning is included in the insert to the drugs and in the Physicians' Desk reference. The Physicians' Desk Reference lists the following adverse reactions (side effects) to antidepressants among a host of other physical and neuropsychiatric effects. None of these adverse reactions (side effects) is listed as Rare. They are all listed as either Frequent or as Infrequent: Manic Reaction (Mania, e.g., Kleptomania, Pyromania, Dipsomania, Nymphomania) Hypomania (e.g., poor judgment, over spending, impulsivity, etc.) Abnormal Thinking Hallucinations Personality Disorder Amnesia Agitation Psychosis Abnormal Dreams Emotional Lability (Or Instability) Alcohol Abuse and/or Craving Hostility Paranoid Reactions Confusion Delusions Sleep Disorders Akathisia (Severe Inner Restlessness) Discontinuation (Withdrawal) Syndrome Impulsivity [url]http://www.ssristories.com/index.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
