Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I don't know if it is common or not, but my daughter-in-law died at 38, using ssri's from blood clots in the left leg and chest. Too many to miss by a sane doctor; a couple of years ago. He was ready to op on her left knee because it was bothering her; in three days. I doubt if she would have made it. No law suit because my son could not handle it. Sincerly, L.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 , I don't know about SSRI's but I do know about birth control can cause them as I lived that one. I wouldn't doubt they will find SSRI can cause them. or set someone up that is prone to them because of inherited clotting disorder.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Could they have low vitamin D levels? Possible an inherited clotting disorder? From literature I’ve been reading I’m thinking low vitamin D can cause lots of issues and set us up for more health problems. I finally got my D levels to a good number and I’m feeling much better and blood tests to test for clotting disorders are coming back negative. I hope this is a positive move for myself. Also low vitamin D is a cause for depression. hugs Micki Health Eating and Living Together he2gether_/ My brother's online store check it out <http://mcgregorgifts.ecrater.com/> http://mcgregorgifts.ecrater.com/ <http://mcgregorgifts.ecrater.com/> _____ From: SSRI medications [mailto:SSRI medications ] On Behalf Of bowriver011 Sent: Monday, December 31, 2007 1:08 PM SSRI medications Subject: Blood Clots....

The platelet volume on my blood work was increased after only 3 days on the drugs. (the only reason I found this out was because I wound up in the psych ward after 3 days on Zoloft because I was suicidal and homicidal). Additionally, the drug is contraindicated for thyroid conditions and it can cause hypercholesteremia. I would bet if you were to go read the label it probably says something about blood clots. Perhaps in another word that we wouldn't recognize. If you go on kmle.com you can use that site to look up medical terminology - it's an online medical dictionary. My doctor claimed that increased platelet volume was " crap " (meaning she thought it was meaningless) but I don't know. The definition of serotonin is a smooth muscle and blood vessel constrictor so it would seem to compound the problems with clots by thinning the blood vessels. Don't expect a lot of sympathy from doctors or the FDA, but make the report anyway. In my experience any time someone who has taken an SSRI has an adverse reaction, that person is labeled as paranoid, or it's blamed on their " underlying condition " or the reason they went on the drugs in the first place, or it's blamed on their genes - that is, the reason that you had a bad reaction is because you're not a good fit for this drug, not that the drug is dangerous. It's all total B.S. but somehow they've managed to make it work pretty well. You should make a report of this to the FDA adverse events reporting system. Also know that all hormones are affected when an unnatural block occurs on the metabolism of serotonin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
