Families Face Miscarriages If Not SSRI Birth Defects
By John Curran
While this site has frequently covered the growing number of Celexa birth defects side effects cases reported by women, these are not the only problems facing those who become pregnant. Using data from the FDA, women face significant SSRI antidepressant miscarriage risks as well as premature births.
According to a study performed at the University of Montreal, SSRI miscarriage side effects occurred at double the rate of women who were not taking any medications. The FDA’s numbers match up as well, with about one miscarriage for every nine Celexa birth defect side effects reports, as well as those of related antidepressants. Infants who remain alive face numerous problems, as do their parents.
Antidepressant premature birth conditions occur about as often as miscarriages, yet many women are not aware of the risks. In addition, it’s important to note that while SSRI birth defects, miscarriages and premature births number more than 10,000 according to FDA statistics, that doesn’t tell the whole story. Many obstetricians and delivery room staff may not think to report the issues. Meanwhile parents are facing a situation they never expected with Zoloft heart defect side effects.
Heart conditions and limb deformities are also easier for SSRI birth defects lawsuit lawyers to help families with when they want to make claims. It may be more difficult to draw a direct link between a miscarriage and an antidepressant. However, misshapen limbs and holes in the heart, part of VATER syndrome, are directly linked to these drugs. It is why it’s important for men and women looking to start a family to be aware of the risks like Zoloft heart defect side effects.
Considering that one in three women will experience depression during their pregnancy, treatments should be available. However, there are numerous options that don’t include the risk of SSRI birth defect side effects.

One thought on Families Face Miscarriages If Not SSRI Birth Defects
I have had 4 miscarriages on zoloft. I was informed that everything would be fine and it was safe to take it while I was pregnant. This last pregnancy I lost June 5th 2015, the doctor told me I could just stop taking the zoloft with no issues and the baby would be fine. But it wasn’t. My baby had a heart beat on the first ultra sound and the next ultrasound it was gone. I can explain in more detail, its just alot. This has been incredibly hard. And i need to know if i have a case??
