For many families, the feelings associated with a newborn’s selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) injury include anger, guilt, confusion, and depression. Pulling at those emotional scabs can reveal painful emotions for many family members. However, it can also uncover important information that can help with the healing process.
Sadly, every year, thousands of children are born with SSRI-related health effects, like persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) and other severe physical birth defects. These birth defects are generally related to the fact their mother ingested an SSRI depression medication during pregnancy.
In many cases, the makers of SSRI medications like Zoloft, Celexa, and Lexapro failed to fully or appropriately communicate the full set of risks associated with their medication. In turn, some women took actions they would have never otherwise taken.
Have your family members’ lives been unexpectedly and significantly changed as a result of your child’s fetal SSRI exposure? If you’re like thousands of other parents, what you didn’t know about Lexapro or Zoloft did hurt you. Talk to the professionals at the Dallas firm of Nachawati Law Group to learn more about your rights and your potential remedies.
