Emergence of intense suicidal preoccupation during fluoxetine treatment
MH Teicher, C Glod and JO Cole
Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, MA.
Six depressed patients free of recent serious suicidal ideation developed
intense, violent suicidal preoccupation after 2-7 weeks of fluoxetine
treatment. This state persisted for as little as 3 days to as long as 3
months after discontinuation of fluoxetine. None of these patients had ever
experienced a similar state during treatment with any other psychotropic
drug.
