Antidepressants Linked to Type 2 Diabetes?

[Guest guest]

i hope once your off antidepressants you can reverse this. I'm not type 2

yet. I'm also assuming that effexor does the same thing since it's a

similar class.

Brown of the University of Alberta's School of Public Health has

discovered a possible link between depression and diabetes. While analyzing

data from Saskatchewan health databases, she found that people with a

history of depression had a 30 per cent increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

Brown then studied the medical history of 2,400 people with depression who

were taking antidepressants to see if she could further clarify the link.

The group was divided into four categories: those who took antidepressants

which were considered older drugs, patients taking newer antidepressants,

those using a combination of both and people who were switching medications.

Brown found that those patients who were using a combination of tricyclic

antidepressants (TCAs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)

had an almost double risk for diabetes.

Brown recommends that people with depression, especially those taking more

than one antidepressant, should be routinely screened for type 2 diabetes.

The study was published in Diabetes Research & Clinical Practice.

antidepressants caused me to get Cushing's syndrome, it was about a year or more

after I had completely stopped all the medication that the painful bloat and

edema started to go away, I lost 70 pounds as quickly and mysteriously as it had

appeared
