In March 2004, the Food and Drug Administration issued a Public Health Advisory that provides further cautions to physicians, their patients, and families and caregivers of patients about the need to closely monitor both adults and children with depression, especially at the beginning of treatment, or when the doses are changed with either an increase or decrease in the dose.
FDA is asking manufacturers to change the labels of ten drugs to include stronger cautions and warnings about the need to monitor patients for the worsening of depression and the emergence of suicidal ideation, regardless of the cause of such worsening.
The drugs under review include bupropion, citalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, mirtazapine, nefazodone, paroxetine, sertraline, escitalopram and venlafaxine. It should be noted that the only drug that has received approval for use in children with major depressive disorder is fluoxetine (Prozac). Several of these drugs are approved for the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder in pediatric patients, i.e., sertraline (Zoloft), fluoxetine (Prozac), and fluvoxamine (Luvox). Luvox is not approved as an antidepressant in the United States.
Shortly after the release of the Public Health Advisory, FDA and GlaxoSmithKline notified healthcare professionals of revisions to the WARNINGS and PRECAUTIONS sections of Wellbutrin labeling to alert healthcare professionals that patients with major depressive disorder, both adult and pediatric, may experience worsening of their depression and/or the emergence of suicidal ideation and behavior (suicidality), whether or not they are taking antidepressant medications. The warning recommends patients being treated with antidepressants be observed closely for clinical worsening and suicidality, especially at the beginning of a course of drug therapy, or at the time of dose changes, either increases or decreases.

provide me a f*cking injury. 24 hours of downtime does no longer warrant a lawsuit whilst it includes computers & utility. and you act like it is the 1st time the PSN has had unpredicted themes. additionally, Sony has no longer been silent. they have published on the weblog, they're posting on Twitter, and that they are offering updates to web pages like IGN and Kotaku. to no longer point out the certainty that the PSN words of provider extra effective than probably has provisions to guard Sony from idiots such as you who particularly could make a lawsuit because of the fact of what seems to be like an set of rules situation relating to the interior clock of the Fatboy PS3s. in simple terms wait and Sony will guard the situation. heavily, in case you could no longer stay without the PS3 for a pair days, you have have been given problems.
