Antidepressant Study May Resolve Suicide Concerns

That may be occurring with the increased concern about antidepressants over the last few years, and especially after the addition of black box warnings in early 2005, Dr. Fassler said.

The study was funded by the National Institute of Mental Health. Dr. Simon has received a research grant from Eli Lilly & Co., and consulting fees related to a Pfizer program. A coauthor, Dr. Philip Wang, has provided expert testimony on paroxetine (Paxil) and suicide risk.
