"The observed difference in BMD for SSRIs is similar to that seen with glucocorticoids."
Bloody Hell...
__________________________________________________CONCLUSIONS: In this population of men, BMD was lower among those reporting current SSRI use, but not among users of other antidepressants. Further research is needed to confirm this finding in light of widespread SSRI use and potentially important clinical implications.

CONCLUSION: Use of SSRIs but not TCAs is associated with an increased rate of bone loss at the hip in this cohort of older women.
__________________________________________________What inspired you to seek out these studies Lar? I see they're both very recent - June/July this year. Interesting. Of course I knew they were bad all along ;-) I've never checked to see if SSRI use is correlated with cellulitis, but I think I will. Doctors always told me there was no link, but I had this with every SSRI, and it was debilitating. Ruined my education because I had to keep going into hospital every few months. I'll have a look and see.
