Dangerous Drugs - Remeron

Remeron is manufactured by Organon and was approved by the FDA in 2001 for use in treating depression. It has been linked to numerous adverse reactions involving blood and bone marrow abnormalities. It has also been linked to liver problems and hallucinations.

On December 13th, 2006, the FDA concluded that prescribing antidepressants to young adults can be risky due to the drugs' potential to cause suicidal thoughts. As a remedy, the organization proposed expanding the labeling of all antidepressants to include a warning regarding suicidal thoughts in patients ranging in age from 18-24.

During an average of three years of follow-up, 21.4% of the patients taking antidepressants died compared with 12.5% of those not on antidepressants. After adjusting for demographic factors, cardiac risk factors, scores on the Beck Depression Inventory test, and the presence of other illness, antidepressant use was an independent risk factor for mortality, increasing the risk by 62%.
