Warnings Suggest That Antidepressants May Be Unsafe
A data analysis that was published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) suggested that antidepressant drugs may offer the best treatment for generalized anxiety disorder. However, a newer data analysis that is published in the recent issue of Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics suggests that BMJ is faulty and biased by conflict of interest. With this recent data plus previous medical reports and clinical findings, you should consider that antidepressants like Zoloft may not be best for treatment of anxiety.
Another article further backed up the claim on faulty analysis of BMJ, Medical News Today stated in their website that BMJ clinical trials were not conducted properly and the research authors were not able to sufficiently justify their outcome procedures. BMJ analysis failed allegedly in the accurate categorization of the subjects affecting the different characteristics of trials.
Additionally, Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics alleges the researchers of BMJ of having ties to certain pharmaceutical companies during the time wherein the study was ongoing.
The publication of BMJ article is called for a reassessment of journal policies concerned with reviews, editorial and meta-analysis.
Before Taking Zoloft, One Should Consider its Warnings
Zoloft is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drug that balances the bodys serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone that greatly influences the overall condition of our well-being. This hormone regulates mood, tempers anxiety and relieves depression. In simpler terms, Zoloft is an antidepressant drug.
Medical reports from patients plus clinical findings implicate Zoloft in several serious and even life-threatening side effects including birth defects, suicide, psychosis, abnormal personality changes and sleeping and eating disorders.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has sent out various warnings on taking antidepressants.
In December 2005, FDA warned that antidepressants may cause birth defects including cardiovascular malformation, especially when the mother takes the drug during the first trimester of pregnancy.
Moreover, in March 2006, FDA mandated antidepressant manufacturers to explicitly warn doctors and patients that antidepressants like Zoloft increases the risks of suicide.
A number of research studies and clinical trials from different universities and institutions also advises the public about the increased rate of harmful outcomes of the antidepressant intake such as agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, hallucinations, self-harm, hostility and violence.
These warnings and reviews should be given an utmost attention and importance by the public to avoid any untoward incidents.
Seek for Alternative Therapies
If you are experiencing any abnormal changes in your mind and body while on Zoloft, immediately report to your doctor. He/she may provide an alternative therapy to aid you on your anxiety and depression. You should also know that the drug manufacturer, Pfizer, is presently facing a number of cases filed by its victimized patients. To check if you qualify for a financial compensation from the company, seek legal assistance.
