Drugs that Can Cause Depression
Some prescription drugs can cause depression. Here are some examples:
 |
Nytol and other over-the-counter sleeping aids containing diphenhydramine |
 |
Diazepam (Valium), alprazolam (Xanax), and other prescription antianxiety medications known as benzodiazepines |
 |
Medicines prescribed to strengthen the heart such as digitoxin (Crystodigin) and digoxin (Lanoxin), known as digitalis medicines |
 |
Prescription medications for high blood pressure and angina such as propranolol (Inderal) and other beta blocker drugs |
 |
Reserpine (Ser-Ap-Es) and other high blood pressure medications that are prescribed to control nerve impulses |
 |
Alcohol |
If you are taking one of these drugs and are feeling unusually sad, consult with your physician. Under no circumstances should you discontinue any prescription medications without your doctor's consent.
