I second that - this is true of any treatment for depression - even electroshock therapy.

Also - drugs like Prozac and Zoloft are excellent drugs that work well and are real life-savers for many people. HOWEVER - in my experience, about one in every 20 or 30 people cannot tolerate them - they become agitated, usually within the first 2 weeks. Those people should discontinue the drugs - continuing the drugs only makes it worse. Many of the problems that have occured with these drugs happened because the patient wasn't followed in the inital period to watch for that kind of reaction.

Also - the article in my newspaper points out that no studies have actually shown an increased rate of suicide with these drugs - this warning is based on anecdotal reports only.
