Differences in Associations of Antidepressants and Hospitalization Due to Hyponatremia

There was a strong association between newly initiated treatment with SSRIs or venlafaxine and hospitalization due to hyponatremia. The association for tricyclic antidepressants and mirtazapine was small to moderate. In contrast, there was no evidence that ongoing treatment with antidepressants increases the risk for hospitalization due to hyponatremia.
