If SSRI drugs increase bleeding risk, how does that differ from Plavix which makes platelets less sticky? SSRI's make blood cells smaller?
I've taken 10mg Prozac for about 1 yr now. Started it after reading it helps some with MS which, I assumed was due to a less stressed brain cause we know stress can damage brain but, the fact you say it's also a bleeding risk makes my wheels turn. Perhaps it helps blood get into tiny areas? Interesting. edit type.o Last edited by EddieF; 12-03-2011 at 05:02 PM. |

does it have to be plavix? i take pradaxa but i'm being tx'd for a fib.
i'm also on tamoxifen for brst CA and have a limited option for antidepressants because they can interfere with it. i've been on a lot of alternatives. some work, some don't. i've ultimately found something that works for me. i wonder if a psychiatrist (md) can help answer those Q's in your case?

Plavix has a lot of drug interactions and I agree definitely speak to your psychiatrist regarding this as well as other antidepressant options.
FWIW plavix is metabolized by CYP450 2C19 and a fair number of Asians are poor metabolizers which could result in a build up of the medication to toxic levels. https://naturalmolecular.com/documen...aSheet_001.pdf
