The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued new information, yesterday, 31st January, to alert doctors and other health professionals about the increased risk of patients having suicidal thoughts and behaviors as a result of taking antiepileptic drugs for epilepsy, bipolar disorder, migraines, and other conditions. The risk of suicidality was observed to increase after one week of starting on the drugs, and stayed higher for at least 24 weeks.
The FDA said they were now working with the drug companies to ensure this new information is included in the product label and accompanying patient and doctor information sheets. They are expecting the information to apply to all antiepileptic drugs and not just the ones given here.
