Los Angeles Times, "FDA plans to expand antidepressant warning; Risk of suicidal thoughts can last until young adulthood, panel agrees"
          A Food and Drug Administration federal panel Wednesday recommended the agency issue its strongest possible warning to alert patients and doctors that antidepressants can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in young adults. The panel called for placing the so-called black-box warning on product labels and in medication guides distributed to patients.
          Following the vote, FDA officials said they intended to expand the warning to include young adults. Since 2004, antidepressants have had a black-box warning about an increased risk of suicidal thoughts and behavior in children and adolescents.
         The recommendation to extend that warning to patients in their late teens and 20s came after the FDA's review of 372 clinical trials. The review found the risks were related to age and the dangers seemed to disappear at age 25.
