Celexa

Celexa has been used to treat depression in patients. However, it can also increase suicidal thoughts, especially for teens and young adults. The FDA also issued an alert in July 2006 that expectant mothers who take Celexa increase the risk that their unborn child will suffer from high blood pressure, which can lead to a stroke or heart attack. Another FDA warning states that if you already take migraine medication, you can be at risk for a life-threatening illness called serotonin syndrome. Signs and symptoms of serotonin syndrome include: restlessness, diarrhea, hallucinations, coma, loss of coordination, nausea, fast heart beat, vomiting, increased body temperature, fast changes in blood pressure, overactive reflexes, which can be very dangerous to say the least and could also be fatal.
