Myth: "SSRIs are newer and safer for fall risk"

Reality: SSRIs have the HIGHEST fall risk of any antidepressant class

Why SSRIs cause falls:
• Hyponatremia → confusion
• Orthostatic hypotension
• Sedation and psychomotor impairment
• Increased bone loss (fracture risk)

When you see Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro, Celexa, or Paxil → think fall risk.
