Paxil, Zoloft, and other SSRI Antidepressants

Paxil, Zoloft, and other popular antidepressant drugs classified as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) have been linked to numerous birth defects, including persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN).  Pregnant women who take Paxil or Zoloft could be more than 6 times as likely to give birth to an infant suffering PPHN.  PPHN is a condition where the blood of a newborn does not properly flow through the lungs, causing a lack of oxygen in the blood stream, often resulting in developmental delays and even death.
