The pills were Sertraline. Sertraline is an SSRI which is safe as long as you don't stop taking it suddenly. If you do, you get something like a "despair" attack. People who kill themselves on Sertraline do it after stopping to take it. This is a serious risk since most depressed people don't always act in their best interests.
The real problem in this case is the fact that the pills were unlabeled to keep the father in the dark.
I don't know if they're wrong on children, since there may be edge cases where it's appropriate, but SSRI's shouldn't be illegal. They have their proper use and they do help lift the load.
Sertraline usually gives hightened anxiety when started ( it gradually fades a week or two into it ), and can remove inhibitions that kept the patient from killing themselves.
The only side-effect I got for stopping them ( they had no benefits, took them to get the doctor off my back ) was vertigo. Vertigo took several months to fade away, but it didn't 100% go away.
Avoid that shit. The ''science'' behind sertraline and other SSRI to treat depression is extremely questionable.
SSRI's are a problem in and of themselves that can be a different topic for another day, but as you say: not labeled, no information to parent, possibly unnecessary medication because I'd like to get a second opinion to see if my teenager is just a teenager, and not mentally broken.
i take that for my anxietism. 50mg, works flawlessly when i don't sabotage it with fiber pills like i did for a bit. knocked me on my ass for a week a couple times.

Nothing about something that messes with your brain chemistry enough to do what you described fits the "safe" descriptor.
This. SSRIs should be illegal, let alone allowing children to have them.

SSRIs practically don’t even have an efficacy better than placebo. They are worthless poison, plain and simple:

Maybe not “illegal”, but they need a near total shift in their prescription regime. And not ever to children.
No, they're stupid. Feeling sad is not a disease and medication solves nothing.
We were warned.

This is merely a quote from it, not the whole manifesto.
You're right. It was a poor choice of word. They must be used with utmost care.

No SSRI is safe
