Results of a randomized trial showed that although the SSRI fluoxetine reduced obsessive-compulsive behaviors compared with placebo, the difference was statistically nonsignificant when sex, verbal ability, and baseline imbalances were considered. "Clinicians and families should be cautious about the use of...
It adds that the risk is caused by exposure to tricyclic antidepressants and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) during pregnancy.EBSCO_AspBrown University Psychopharmacology Update
Full size image Next we tested whether this SSRI could acutely rescue the effects of developmental Dyrk1a inhibition on gut motility. In addition to this SSRI, we concurrently tested a more specific activator of serotonin signaling, an agonist for serotonin receptor 6 (5-HTR6) (WAY-18118749). ...

For example, serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's) such as fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, sertraline, and clomipramine, are used for treatment of anxiety and depression. Some studies have shown that SSRI's also have the added benefit of increasing social interaction and inhibiting repetitive behavior. ...
In a population-based case-control study, prenatal SSRI use appeared to be a risk factor for autism and developmental delays in young children, but underlying depression may be a confounder.
Zoloft (sertraline) Second-generation antidepressant (SSRI, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). Studies on SSRIs reveal significant improvement in perseverative behaviors and some other autistic spectrum symptoms (social withdrawal, behavioral rigidity, etc.). Ritalin (methylphenidate) ...
(such as Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro ) on the likelihood of autism found that women who were prescribed an SSRI were more than twice as likely to have a child diagnosed with ASD as women who did not take an SSRI. Although this raises concerns, more study is necessary and pregnant ...
