Dangers of Paxil

Paxil danger is real.

Paxil causes serious side effects: Paxil may cause painful withdrawal and addiction problems. Pregnant women taking Paxil have a greater chance of having babies with birth defects especially heart defects than women who have used other antidepressants or no antidepressants. Paxil has been recklessly prescribed to children when it was proven no more effective than a placebo. Both children and adults taking Paxil have demonstrated suicidal tendencies while taking Paxil and while trying to quit Paxil during withdrawal.

Once touted as a wonder drug, patients now wonder why they were prescribed Paxil and why they not warned of the dangerous Paxil side effects.

Paroxetine or paroxetine hydrochloride (sold under the trade names Paxil in the United States, Seroxat in the United Kingdom and China, Aropax in Australia and New Zealand, Deroxat in Switzerland) is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) type. It was released onto the market in 1992 by the pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline and has since become one of the most prescribed antidepressants on the market. It is the second most prescribed anti-depressant in the UK.

In the United States, antidepressants are the third best-selling pharmaceutical drug after cholesterol and ulcer medication. About one in 20 adults are now taking an antidepressant. SSRIs, (Paxil, Zoloft, Prozac) have been among the most controversial drugs in the history of medicine. Bitter disputes about side effects have raged for more than a decade but far from the media eye until recently. Dangerous side effects often emerge only after drugs have been prescribed to millions of people for many years.

But in the case of SSRIs like the Paxil dangers, there are real signs that GlaxoSmithKline has downplayed known risks and that the FDA and doctors have not done their due diligence and prescribed them for conditions like shyness or embarrassment.
