drug_recall paxilAccording to the World Health Organization (WHO), Paxil withdrawal has the highest incident rate of adverse effects of any antidepressant drug in the world. Paxil withdrawal information was allegedly intentionally withheld by drug manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline, so that many patients and physicians were unaware that the potential for Paxil withdrawal even existed. For patients who have been taking Paxil for any amount of time, the Paxil withdrawal can seem hellish and unbearable.
Because GlaxoSmithKline did not make information regarding Paxil withdrawal symptoms readily available, many patients and their physicians initially mistook the signs of Paxil withdrawal for relapses, and either began incorrect and unnecessary medical treatment, or resumed the use of Paxil. The battle to overcome Paxil withdrawal is therefore psychological as much as physical.
The symptoms of Paxil withdrawal range from merely uncomfortable to grueling and terrifying. Persons undergoing Paxil withdrawal can expect to experience any of the following: dizziness, extreme nausea, unexplained crying, sweating, vomiting, vertigo, coordination problems, agitation, nightmares, tremors, confusion, memory and concentration difficulties, lethargy, weakness, high fever, abdominal discomfort, headaches, electrical "zaps" to the brain, slurred speech, blurred vision, hypersensitivity to stimulus, etc.
If you believe that you or a loved one has suffered from Paxil withdrawal, you may wish to meet with an attorney to discuss your legal options. Paxil withdrawal can cause serious lasting damage, and can trigger intense psychological problems, including violent tendencies and suicidal behavior. If you are undergoing Paxil withdrawal, you are advised to see a doctor immediately.
