Those surviving past 1 week develop ataxia, a
whole -
body tremor and by 4 to 6 weeks of age, severe generalized clonic - tonic seizures.
We can see a myriad of clinical signs with these drugs and specifically with the SSRI class of antidepressants, we can see lethargy, ataxia (walking like they are drunk) sedation, agitation,
tremors (
whole body shaking), vocalization, hyperthermia (fever), mydriasis (dilated pupils), vomiting, cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heat beats), tachypnea (panting), weakness, and possibly seizures.
