FDA Approves Deadly Antidepressant for Children

spacer-10x150Is the FDA insane or just stupid?  Barely a month after the U.S. Department buy Viagra Plus online of Justice sued Forest Labs, maker of blockbuster and potentially suicide-inducing antidepressant Lexapro, for illegally marketing the drug for children when it wasn’t approved for use in children, the idiots at the FDA approved this highly dangerous drug for use in…you guessed it….children.

Hopefully, doctors won’t be stupid enough to prescribe it to children in the newly approved 12-to-17-year-old population, or to kids even younger. But we can’t count on that – especially considering that the DOJ suit alleges that the Big Pharma firm essentially bribed doctors to prescribe the drug to kids.

And it’s not like the danger of death isn’t widely known. On the Forest Labs own Lexapro website, you’ll find this very clear warning:
Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders.

Bottom line: If your child is depressed, Lexapro could send them over the edge to suicide. If your doctor recommends this dangerous drug for your child, walk out of his office and find a new doctor immediately.
