Zoloft and other such SSRI antidepressant drugs have long been suspected of causing serious side effects including suicide tendencies and sexual problems. Lately, Zoloft and other drugs like Paxil, Prozac, Lexapro, Sarafem and Celexa have been shown to cause serious heart birth defects in babies whose mothers used the antidepressants while pregnant. There has long been concerns that these medications caused persistent pulmonary hypertension in newborns (PPHN). Now, it has been shown that they cause physical heart defects like atrial septal defects (ASD), ventricular septal defects (VSD), tetralogy of fallot (ToF), hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), transposition of the great arteries or vessels (TGA or TOGA), patent ductus arteriousus (PDA), total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR), double outlet right ventricle (DOVR) and coarctation of the aorta (CoA). It has also been determined that drugs like Zoloft can cause the skull malformation known as Craniosynostosis. Many Zoloft lawsuits have been filed by Zoloft lawsuit attorneys around the country seeking compensation for the babies suffering from these conditions along with their parents.
