WARNING: SUICIDAL THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIORS
Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior
in children,
adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies. These studies did
not show an
increase in the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior with
antidepressant use in
patients over age 25; there was a reduction in risk with
antidepressant use in patients
aged 65 and older [see Warnings and Precautions (4.4)].
In patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy
monitor closely for
clinical worsening and emergence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
Advise families
and caregivers of the need for close observation and communication
with the
prescriber [see Warnings and Precautions (4.4)].

necessary within 3 to 4 weeks of initiation of therapy and thereafter

advisable that a total
