Washington, DC: The potential risk for Celexa Birth Defects is already well-established, given various studies (one of the most recent published in March), which suggest links to persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), oral cleft and other potential defects when the antidepressant is taken by women at or above normal dosing levels.

Boston, MA: For women looking for an answer to the question of whether or not to risk SSRI side effects while pregnant, a recent study attempts to offer some insight. Women who have depression while pregnant face an important question of whether such side effects, such as Celexa side effects, are worth the benefits. One important question is whether the risk of so-called Celexa birth defects are more serious than the risks of untreated depression.

Toledo, OH: For expectant mothers hoping to decide whether Celexa side effects are worth the benefits, recent studies probably do not make the decision easier. Although some studies have Celexa linked to birth defects, others suggest the risk of untreated maternal depression is also great. Mothers who experience depression are left to decide whether the risk of Celexa birth defects is greater than the risk of untreated depression.

Washington, DC: Antidepressants taken by pregnant women can be harmful to their babies, as certain drugs have been linked to a lung disorder, increasing the need to monitor Celexa side effects, according to WebMD.

Ottawa, ON: Health Canada is currently reviewing an antidepressant following reports that heart damage may be one of the Celexa side effects for certain doses, The Canadian Press reported.

San Antonio, TX: When it comes to pregnancy, there is a great deal of debate over whether women should be concerned about things such as Celexa birth defects. The debate comes in part because unlike with alcohol or smoking during pregnancy—which have been consistently shown to cause harm to a fetus—studies on Celexa side effects and other medication side effects in infants have been inconsistent. Although some studies have shown that SSRIs such as Celexa are linked to birth defects, other studies have not found the same results, leaving women wondering what medications, if any, they can take while pregnant.

Washington, DC: Wary of major Celexa side effects, the US Food and Drug Administration recently recommended that the maximum daily dose of the antidepressant be reduced to 40 mg per day.

Houston, TX: For expectant mothers, worry about Prozac side effects along with all the other things they have to worry about may be overwhelming. After all, they have to balance the risk of Prozac birth defects against the risk of untreated depression. But as more studies suggest a link between Prozac and birth defects, expectant mothers may find they are strongly considering their alternatives.

Washington, DC: The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a warning about potentially fatal Celexa side effects. Although these Celexa side effects are not linked to the reported risk of Celexa birth defects, they are serious enough that the FDA has made recommendations regarding doses of the medication.

Boston, MA: Depression appears to increase the risk of serious strokes in middle-aged and older women, with Celexa side effects seemingly elevating this risk even further, according to a recently published study.
