Could I have brain damage from being on an antidepressant since I was a young teen?

Question

I was diagnosed with panic disorder when I was 14 and put on Paxil. I am now almost 22 and still occasionally get terrible episodes of anxiety where I can't work or go to school. My medicine was changed to lexapro last year. I was wondering if I could have any neurological problems or damage due to being on an antidepressant since I was a young teen. If I do, would I be able to recover from it?

Answer

if your not taking the meds anymore it might just be they don't know what they are doing it probably makes sense to talk to a therapist and see if you can sort this stuff out thats why they can help you

Answer

Antidepressant's are not know to give brain damage. Antidepressant's have never be proven to give brain damage.
