Thanks for the reference-interesting paper. By the data, it would seem Zoloft would be the AD to prescribe to mimimize the chance of suicide, not Prozac, as is recommended, at least for teens. I personally thing it just has to do with taking an anxious/depressed person who is feeling awful and making them feel worse with meds, and then wondering why they decide to kill themselves. I think everyone on psychoactive meds should be actively monitored, myself-even just e-mailing the doc/whomever every few days at first.
