Drug 'can trigger suicide in adults'

Commonly used modern antidepressants can cause adults as well as children to attempt suicide, a new study says.
An 18-month inquiry convened by the Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA) in the UK banned the use of the drugs, known as the SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) in children and adolescents.

Last December it said the drugs were over-prescribed though they could safely be used by adults.

But a study published today in the online journal BMC Medicine casts doubt on the MHRA's findings. One of the manufacturers, the British company GlaxoSmithKline, which makes the bestselling Seroxat, did not submit its original detailed data from clinical trials of the drug to the regulator, said the Norwegian author of the report, Ivar Aursnes.
