Antidepressants: What Every Patient Needs to Know

by Meridith Berk

Overview

According to the FDA, “No matter your age, before you take an antidepressant, you, your parent, or your caregiver should talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of treating your condition with an antidepressant or with other treatments.”

Over 27 million Americans now take antidepressant medications.

When prescribing a new medication, two thirds of doctors do not talk to their patients about adverse side effects. Patients and caregivers deserve to have this information.

This book includes the side effects, overdose symptoms, withdrawal symptoms, important warnings and adverse reactions connected with antidepressant drugs.

Difficult to understand terms are simply defined in the over 500 word glossary.

With her educational series, "The Educated Patient" Meridith warns of the dangers connected with pharmaceuticals and offers the straight "dope" about some types of medical drugs, without the medical jargon.

With all the information in hand patients can work far better with their doctors to get the best, most natural and least potentially harmful solutions to their problems.
