No such data: They can cause easy bruising based on a decrease in platelets But no evidence of increased clotting

Ssri's: This class of medications have actually been shown to protect against blood clot formation because of their property of inhibiting clumping of platelets. However when blood clot prevention is a necessity, actual anticoagulants are needed and SSRI's are inadequate.
