Six
depressed patients free of recent serious suicidal ideation developed intense,
violent suicidal preoccupation after 2-7 weeks of fluoxetine treatment. This
state persisted for as little as 3 days to as long as 3 months after
discontinuation of fluoxetine. None of these patients had ever experienced a
similar state during treatment with any other psychotropic
drug.
