The AP reports, "The Food and Drug Administration has alerted physicians to new warnings on anti-seizure drugs about heightened risks of suicidal tendencies, following an earlier announcement that the labels would be required." The warnings apply "to more than 20 medications used to control seizures, psychiatric disorders and nerve pain." The labels now "caution doctors that there is increased 'risk of suicidal thoughts or behavior in patients taking these drugs for any indication."
