Introduction Depression is a common psychiatric complication associated with stroke. However, while most studies focus on post-stroke depression (PSD) subsequent to ischemic strokes, fewer studies have specifically explored depressive symptoms and the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors

OBJECTIVE Many that survive an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage experience lasting physical disability, which might be improved by medications with effects on the dopaminergic, serotonergic, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor neurotransmitter systems. But it is not clear which patients are most

OBJECTIVE Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are first line agents to treat clinical depression. Although these medications exhibit a favorable safety profile, there are multiple case reports, registries, and uncontrolled studies suggesting that use of SSRIs might be associated in the

Serotonin is thought to contribute to the syncopal-like response that develops during severe blood loss by inhibiting presympathetic neurons of the rostroventrolateral medulla (RVLM). Here, we tested whether serotonin cells activated during hypotensive hemorrhage, i.e., express the protein product

OBJECTIVE In vitro studies have shown that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) inhibit platelet aggregation. It is controversial whether use of SSRIs is a cause of clinically important bleeding; results from observational studies have been equivocal. METHODS A population-based

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are widely used antidepressants characterized by less-frequent adverse effects compared with classical anti-depressive agents. On the other hand, SSRI can cause hemorrhagic events more due to impaired platelet aggregation induced by a depletion of

Serotonin-modulating antidepressants have been associated with increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and increased blood loss during elective surgery. This study sought to investigate the effect of preinjury selective-serotonin reuptake inhibitor/serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor

BACKGROUND Several small studies have reported inconsistent findings about the safety of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). We sought to investigate post-CABG bleeding and mortality outcomes related to antidepressant

Background There is concern that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ( SSRI s) substantially increase bleeding risk in patients taking anticoagulants. Methods and Results We studied 737 patients taking SSRI s in the ROCKET AF (Rivaroxaban Once Daily Oral Direct Factor Xa Inhibition Compared With

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether an association between the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants and abnormal bleeding is demonstrated in a large population study. METHODS An observational cohort study using cohorts from the Drug Safety Research Unit's prescription

OBJECTIVE Patients receiving oral anticoagulants run a higher risk of cerebral hemorrhage with a poor outcome. Serotonin-modulating antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors [SSRIs], serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors [SNRIs]) are frequently used in combination with

OBJECTIVE Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressants can inhibit uptake of serotonin by platelets, and their use may predispose patients to bleeding. Case reports and observational studies from databases have suggested an association between the use of SSRIs and gastrointestinal

OBJECTIVE Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely prescribed. Since their release unexpected adverse effects such as bleeding disorders have been described. METHODS Thirty patients with either hematoma or muco-cutaneous bleeding have been selected from case reports of the

OBJECTIVE Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are widely prescribed. Several reports have observed an increased bleeding risk associated with SSRI use, which is hypothesized to be secondary to their antiplatelet effect. METHODS We tested the hypothesis that SSRIs increase the risk for or
