Avoidable side-effects of antidepressants and heartburn meds

[Guest guest]

Just imagine how many middle-aged people - especially postmenopausal

women - who take antidepressant drugs and/or proton-pump inhibitors

(PPIs), such as Nexium, Prilosec, and Prevacid for heartburn. Now

imagine how many of those patients are completely unaware that PPIs and

certain antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors -

SSRIs) such as Prozac may be contributing to bone loss. There's a whole

generation of women out there, trusting their doctors, trusting their

drugs, while their bones are slowly deteriorating, day by day. Given

that there are effective non-drug treatments for both depression and

heartburn, this is an outrage.
