I had a massive gastro bleed while on effexor and celexa. Also had vaginal bleeding which was blamed on an ovarian cyst. The cyst and ovary was removed the bleeding continued. Nose bleeds teeth bleeding ect. Not one doctor told me any of this bleeding could be because of he antidepressants.
I continued to be ill extremely ill…until I quit taking these drugs. Not once did I suspect the drugs were causing the bleeding. This started in 2003 and continued till 2007 when I quit against doctors orders. Doctors then did not know I hope they learn soon.

Well, unfortunately, I had a of of internal bleeding with the Paxil poison, also I had nose bleeds..

Aren’t SSRI’s just wonderful? ..

They make you want to kill yourself, your family, and whilst experiencing these horrors, they will rot your insides out and fry your brain…

Wonder drugs?..

Sure..

““People with other relevant risk factors for GI bleeding should be considered for protecting their stomach with acid-suppressing agents. By no means, patients treated correctly with SSRIs should discontinue their treatment because of the fear (of having) a GI bleeding risk,” de Abajo added.”

Heavens no, you shouldn’t just go off your SSRI, no matter what horrors it causes. Instead, take another pill to mask the effects of the first pill. Then when that causes another side effect, add a third! (sarcasm)
