Medications that can cause depression

Did you know that the medications we prescribe can be associated with depression?

Beta-blockers and reserpine should also be considered as the cause of depression in those newly started on the medication.

Other such medications include:
Corticosteroids
Anticonvulsants (specifically gabapentin, lamotrigine, and topiramate)
Anti-Parkinson medications
Proton pump inhibitors
H2-receptor antagonists

Did you know? Interferon causes depression in most patients and the risk is reduced by the prophylactic administration of paroxetine.

That's all!
