Toxicity to the liver is not generally a problem with any of the SSRIs.
Fluoxetine (Prozac) has been associated with hepatitis extremely rarely. Although venlafaxine (Effexor) is not classified as an SSRI, it has occasionally caused liver problems, so I thought I'd mention it.
Some SSRIs, such as Prozac and Paxil, inhibit drug-metabolizing enzymes in the liver, but this is not related to causing liver damage.
