The New York Times (10/21, Shakin) reports, “A new large-scale analysis found that the short-term cardiovascular and metabolic side effects of antidepressants vary widely by” medication. However, “the ones most commonly prescribed in the United States are linked to relatively mild issues.” Investigators came to this conclusion after analyzing “data from more than 58,000 participants across 151 studies and 17 Food and Drug Administration reports.” The findings were published in The Lancet.
