A member asked:
I could really use an ssri foranxiety/depression,but triglycerides are high and i've read many of these raise it more.any ssris that don't raise this?

Having increased: triglycerides does not necessarily mean that you can't use a SSRI's. It does mean that baseline lipids should be done and then repeated - to see effect of the SSRI. Here is an article which may be helpful- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3687049/ ***** I am not sure that there is enough data out there to be able to say that celexa would be the key.

If ssri's are so safe to take for long term (30+ years), then why depend on meditation, exercise or other non pharma methods for depression and anxiety which are so slow in giving relief from symptoms. Taking a pill is so easy. But there is stigma?
