So, I wouldn't worry about the SSRI issue. You said you have low bone density....your first resort would be calium, magnesium, and vitamin D. Only if that approach didn't work, would I look to more powerful interventions.

these are important, espcially sufficient vitamin D3 - amount in milk or multivitamin is woefully insufficient. need at least several thousand IUs a day if one isn't a lifeguard or farmer or ditch-digger. Also weight-bearing excercise, vitamin k (mk-7 best) also making sure thyroid is adjusted properly. less sodas. and trace minerals also robably help. lactoferrin also looks interesting (from whey protein)-d/r
