Antidepressants and epilepsy…
7 Comments
For a long time, depression has been thought to be a complication of epilepsy.
“People with a history of depression have a 3 to 7 times higher risk of developing epilepsy. This kind of information is forcing us to take a second look at the interaction between depression and epilepsy” said Dr. Andres Kanner, a Professor of Clinical Neurology and Director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center of the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine.

Seventies-era rock star Stevie Nicks is the poster girl for the perils of Klonopin addiction.
Whitney Houston ‘s death at 48, has raised the specter that she was taking Xanax (alprazolam) at the time she died.
What both situations have in common is that they were taking drugs in the benzodiazepine family.
And when it comes to prescription drugs that are able to destroy you, it’s hard to top the benzodiazepines.
