- Abstract:
- Antidepressant-induced hepatotoxicity is generally considered of minimal clinical importance and is not well recognized. We report on a patient with recurrent major depression who was treated with nefazodone. Six weeks after initiation of therapy with nefazodone, he developed fatal liver failure. After cessation of the drug, the patient did not recover. He underwent liver transplantation but unfortunately died.
