TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Antidepressants and overdose toxicity JO - Human psychopharmacology A1 - Henry, J.A. SP - S37 EP - S39 VL - 9 IS - 1 S N2 - Antidepressants relieve depression, but many are highly toxic if taken in overdose, causing over 250 deaths in Britain each year. Ninety‐seven per cent of these deaths are due to the older tricyclic drugs. Prescribing antidepressant drugs with lower toxicity in overdose could prevent many of these deaths, and is thus the most immediately available from of suicide prevention.
