Paxil and Suicide
Suicide, self-mutilation, self-harm and suicidal thoughts have all been linked to Paxil. Since this antidepressant was released in 1992 the safety of Paxil has been questioned – particularly in use by adolescents. In fact, Paxil was never FDA approved for use in patients under 18 years old, as studies proved it was generally ineffective in these patients. GlaxoSmithKline, the pharmaceutical giant that manufactures Paxil, is currently facing a number of lawsuits filed by adult patients and parents of children who were prescribed Paxil, regarding the drug’s potentially deadly side effects.
