Some antidepressants increase the risk of diabetes

Long term use of antidepressants is associated with an increased risk of Diabetes Mellitus.

This is especially true of 2 antidepressants likely to cause weight gain, Paxil (paroxetine) and Elavil (amitryptiline).

No need to take immediate action:
Dr. Andersohn stressed that because the risk for diabetes develops slowly, doctors should not take immediate action in treating individual patients. "Abrupt withdrawal of antidepressants might cause unintended effects."

Before taking antidepressants, consulting a doctor is such a nice idea. ELISA kit could also be use in having a test to know your condition. ELISA kit manufacturer knows that this could be great contribution when it comes to the world of medicine.
