Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that SSRI antidepressants increase blood pressure in patients who take them?

No. A peer-reviewed review reports that patients prescribed SSRIs showed no significant blood pressure changes compared with placebo, and a separate meta-analysis notes escitalopram slightly decreased blood pressure and calls the SSRI-blood pressure relationship ambiguous. An animal study likewise found chronic escitalopram did not affect blood pressure.
