This seems very serious if the FDA is bringing it up. The short story is that they want warnings for two categories of patients taking SSRIs or SNRIs:
- Patients also taking certain migraine meds (triptans) run a risk of "serotonin syndrome."
- Newborns born to pregnant women taking SSRIs/SNRIs are at risk for a potentially fatal lung condition (persistent pulmonary hypertension)
