Paxil

Paxil is a drug intended to treat mood disorders including depression, panic, anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder. While it has been effective in treating these disorders in some patients, many more have suffered from serious side effects. While teenagers are most at risk for these side effects, it has also been shown that mothers taking Paxil may double the risk of birth defects for their infants.

In addition to cardiovascular and neurological defects to babies, side effects of Paxil include:

1. Severe depression
2. Increased anxiety
3. Uncontrollable mood changes
4. Suicide

Thousands of families have been impacted by these side effects. Suicide, particularly among teenagers, is an all too common result of taking Paxil.

It is the responsibility of drug manufacturers to determine the safety of their products. The manner in which Paxil was approved for use and the way information about its side effects was suppressed has made GlaxoSmithKline the subject of recent news stories and documentaries. Despite this new information, the company has yet to recall the product.
