Osteoporosis, or porous bone, is a disease characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to bone fragility and an increased risk of fractures of the hip, spine, and wrist. Antidepressants may be bad for your bones.

If the problem persists, please try again in a little while. Men as well as women are affected by osteoporosis, a disease that can be prevented and treated.

All the while, though, your bones had been losing strength for many years. While the use of fluoxetine, citalopram and sertraline was associated with increase in the risk of fracture, dose dependently but the same was not found with paroxetine.

“These are preliminary findings which need to be confirmed.”The studies, both published in the June 25 issue of the In one of the strongest, reported in January, researchers in Canada found SSRI use to be associated with a twofold increase in the risk of SSRIs work by blocking the protein associated with the movement of serotonin, the Diem and colleagues from the University of Minnesota studied SSRI use and bone loss in a group of 2,722 older women (average age about 78) enrolled in an Roughly 200 of the women (7.3%) were SSRI users, while 118 (4.3%) took tricyclic antidepressants, and 2,406 (88%) took neither antidepressant.Over an average follow up of five years, the SSRI users were found to have higher rates of hip bone loss than women who took tricyclic antidepressants and those who did not take antidepressants.The findings were similar in a study of close to 6,000 men 65 and older.The men in the study who took SSRIs had lower bone density in the hip and lower spine than men who took no antidepressants.

To evaluate the relative effects of individual antidepressants, the investigators compared bone mineral densities, T scores, fracture histories, and CTX levels among 522 patients on antidepressants and 1,056 randomly selected controls from the same bone health clinic who were not taking antidepressants.

The link between depression, antidepressant use, and osteoporosis is becoming more widely understood, and there is mounting evidence for an effect of depression and antidepressants on fracture rates. Osteoporosis is called a “silent disease” because you may not notice any changes until a bone breaks. Osteoporosis is a disease that weakens bones to the point where they break easily—most often, bones in the hip, backbone (spine), and wrist. But by six weeks, the higher levels of serotonin prompted by the drug disrupted the ability of the hypothalamus region of the brain to promote bone growth.
