Study: NSAIDs May Blunt Effect of Antidepressants

A new study has found that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may blunt the effectiveness of antidepressants known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

 

Researchers at Rockefeller University in New York said use of NSAIDs like ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen may be a reason why some people don't respond to SSRIs.

 

They called for a follow-up study to determine precisely what dose and length of use of NSAIDs would produce the effect.
