Paxil is a medicine used to treat depression, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder. Paxil is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that treats the symptoms of these conditions by restoring the balance of serotonin in the brain.

The drug Paxil has had many reports of serious side effects caused by the drug. Paxil has been known to cause very painful addiction and withdrawal problems. It has also been proven to increase the chances of a pregnant woman giving birth to a defected child (mainly heart defects) whether they have used other anti-depressants before or not. Children and adults that have been prescribed Paxil have often had symptoms of suicidal tendencies while using the drug and even after they have stopped using the drug Paxil.

Once perceived as a wonder drug, patients are now asking why they were prescribed this deadly drug and why they were never warned abut the serious and life-threatening side effects. It is amazing how the drug Paxil is the most sold and most popular anti-depressant ever. With it first being released on the market in 1992 by pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline, it has become one of the most prescribed drug ever.

Around 1 in 20 adults are now taking anti-depressants and millions of people are prescribed to Paxil, which is named one of the most dangerous prescription drugs ever released, yet each day, more and more patients are prescribed to Paxil. Bitter disputes have waged for many years but never have these disputes been brought to the eyes of the public and never has Paxil been in any media investigations until recently.

It is believed that the company behind Paxil, GlaxoSmithKline, has down-played all reports of side effects and tried to keep the public and the media from knowing about all of these reported serious problems with the drug. Even more surprising is that the FDA actually approved the drug even though they had feedback telling them that people have suicidal tendencies while using the drug.

There are clear indications, in study after study, that Paxil does in fact lead people (old and young) to exhibit uncharacteristic violent and self-destructive behaviours. Yet nothing has been done about this dangerous drug. How long until something is done?
