whats especially odd to me is that while some shrinks are fighting these warnings in the face of decent data, others have been saying: we've known this for a long time. Even "Listening to Prozac" talks about the first couple weeks, when the activation induced by medication can preceed anti-depressant effects and the patient is more at risk of suicide and other forms of self-harm. Other shrinks have talked about this, too--how they've known since the old days of TCAs and MAOIs that sometimes the meds will make things worse; sometimes this went away and other times it meant the patient had to switch meds or try something besides antidepressants.
