Specifically, a study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal reviewed pregnancies where the mothers miscarried in the 20th week of their pregnancies to women who did not suffer what are defined as early miscarriages.  The results revealed that women who had used Effexor faced nearly double the risk of enduring an early miscarriage when compared to those who did not use this medication. 

As a result of this study, the researchers began to make efforts to warn women who had been using Effexor and other antidepressant medications that include:

• Lexapro
• Celexa
• Prozac
• Zoloft

That using them could involve extreme risks of having a miscarriage.

Studies like the one described above are extremely important to women everywhere, but unfortunately they are rarely publicized to the point where those who would benefit from being aware of the results would become aware of them.  As a result, many women unknowingly continue to use these medications even though they place the health and well-being of their unborn children in a position of extreme peril.
