Antidepressants Linked to Sudden Cardiac Death

If you know a woman who takes antidepressants, pay attention! The Journal of the American College of Cardiology is about to publish a new study that links antidepressants with sudden cardiac death in women.

You’d think those findings would have the mainstream medical community thinking twice about recommending antidepressants…but no.

Instead, the researchers had this to say (according to HealthDay): “The finding doesn’t necessarily mean that antidepressant drugs are dangerous.”

Which strikes me as ridiculous, because ‘sudden cardiac death’ sounds very dangerous to me.

Bottom line: Even though this study shows us clearly that antidepressants are especially dangerous for women, it can be just as dangerous to stop taking them cold turkey, so talk to your doctor before you make any changes…but talk to him today!
