WASHINGTON -- Antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal behavior
for people up to age 24, the government said Wednesday. It plans new
warning labels, and says users of all ages should be closely
monitored.
The Food and Drug Administration presented its plan to update the
drug labels at a meeting of outside advisers on the issue. They
endorsed the plan.
The FDA also stressed that patients of all ages should continue to be
carefully monitored for signs of suicidal tendencies when they are
beginning treatment on the drugs.
