Long term SSRI are generally safe. However one has to be at least on monthly review by psychiatrist. SSRIs alone are safe, however if a person is on other medications too then interactions of those medications with SSRIs may be of concern. Hence regular follow up with all details of other medications, with a Psychiatrist is required. Treatment of anxiety reduces morbidity to a great extent, hence comfortable living, indirectly meaning longer life. You may consult me for further details.
