title: Which patients taking SSRIs are at greatest risk of bleeding?
abstract: For patients at high risk of abnormal bleeding, consider prescribing an antidepressant with low serotonin reuptake inhibition, which may lower risk. For patients taking high-serotonin reuptake inhibition antidepressants, recommend avoidance or minimal use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and aspirin.
