Glaxo Smith Kline and FDA had been sending letter to doctors on the 12th warning that the medicine Paxil might increase the rate of patients committing suicides. The FDA demanded on the Glaxo to do cases analyzing on 15000 patients who are presently taking the Paxil and found out that eleven people had the intensions of committing suicides. The medicine had somehow negative effects on the patients especially on teenagers and adults under thirty years old since eight out of eleven people are included in this age range.
FDA warned the families that have family members that are taking the Paxil should be paid close attention to, then I wondered why does not the FDA stop or limit the production the Paxil since it does contain a harmful possibilities of negative effect and there are other medicines and ways to fight against Melancholia?! Does the FDA think that changing the warning sign on the packages will help people not to commit suicide since these patients view the Paxil as a “Must Take”.
Now no one has died from committing suicide due to Paxil but if one day a case really occurred?! There are already so many cases of wrong use of medicine which give out destructing effects.
My step brother ended up worse off emotionally after he started taking Paxil. Before Paxil, he just felt a little blue when he didn't have something to do. After Paxil, he'd feel so depressed if he missed a dose, that he'd fantasize about suicide. He ended up dying within a year, from an "accidentaly overdose" of methadone that he was taking for migraines. Maybe it wasn't an accident afterall?
They should conduct some advance research on Paxil. Then, if it is as dangerous as it seems, it should be forbidden until they find an improved Paxil.
Do they know if these people had thoughts of commiting suicide prior to taking Paxil?
How do they know that there haven't been paxil-related suicides if it hasn't been looked into until recently?
