However, if adverse reactions were extremely common, they wouldn't be prescribing them so readily. Keep your eyes open for them, but don't obsess over it. The reason only Prozac is approved for use by children with major depressive disorder is because none of the other antidepressants were found to be effective and safe for use by children. And there are researchers who have read the studies who believe Prozac would not be approved for use by children if the studies were being evaluated today. Do not for a moment believe that these adverse reactions are not common. They are common enough to block the drugs from being approved for use by children. Most prescriptions for antidepressants being taken by children and adolescents are being written off-label and there are many, many doctors who fail to or refuse to acknowledge the psychiatric side effects of these drugs.
