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)].
