[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child has been on SSRIs for several years. He has seen 3 different psychiatrists.  All 3 of them are absolutely certain that SSRIs do not cause suicidal ideation/suicide.  I don't know what t believe. [/quote]

Everybody is different. Last summer, DS was lounging around the house, happy and lazy. Then he started moping around, then could not stop crying on night, telling us thoughts of killing himself kept floating into his brain and he did not know where they came from... He had no history of depression. The pediatrician and us had no idea what was going on. After a couple of days of wrecking our brain on what caused the sudden change, I remembered that he started taking Doxycycline for acne a week ago. Google yielded a single study with 4 cases of suicide with no history of mental health issues while on this antibiotics. He stopped the meds immediately and was back to normal in a week. It was so scary. Nobody expected some run of the mill antibiotics would have this kind of effect.[/quote]
