You are a bunch of lying, moneygrubbing as*hol**!!!! I was not told of potential withdrawal problems, I have been going through hell. My fourth attempt at getting off paxil I think has succeeded, I have been off 2 weeks but it has been a complete nightmare weaning and stopping. I was very physically sick-nausea, zaps, dizziness. You will pay for this someday. I am 30 yrs ola and sometime before I die I hope to see your ass in court. 08 Dec 2000 Time: 15:15:32 Remote User: – Comments To SKB: I can’t even begin to tell you sobs how much you mess up my life. You should be sued to where you have to go out of business. How dare you do this to people. Take on the responsiblity and do something now!!!!!! In my eyes you are killers. This is a huge 10 Dec 2000 Time: 16:59:32 Remote User: – Comments My name is rosanne , I was on 10 mg of paxil for 14 months then I tried to wean off . it took 8 months to wean off slowly. ever since I went on the paxil I felt like I was on a boat and had many other vestibular problems.that were not there before the paxil. also twitches andd other neurological feelings . It turned me into a stepford wife. anyway after finally going through the hell of withdrawl and panic anxiety dzziness like never before when I was finally off it I now still have all the vestibular problems have had to stop work and it is 2 years off the drug . I have been to every type of dr .every test . finally a dr has beleived it is the paxil and I was toxically exposed . what are you going to do to help the resst of my life that your drug has ruined. and 10 Dec 2000 Time: 20:52:59 Remote User: – Comments What the hell. I thought I was alone. I have been on paxil for at least a year. My eyeballs stick and then bolt to the other side. It is sickening! This is when I miss a day or so. How the hell am I going to get off this stuff? Nobody ever told me that if I wanted to stop this would be a result. Why does SKB website not talk about the withdrawl? SKB you suck for not telling us! 03 Jan 2001 Time: 21:28:12 Remote User: – Comments Dear SKB I am 36 years old wit h 2 young childern , a husband, a full time employee of Boehringer Ingel heim Pharmaceuticals. YOUR DRUG- PAXIL- HAS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS WITHDRAWL EFFECTS> I was prescribed 20 mg dose 16 months ago ( but have only been taking 10 mg daily faithfully) for stress and complaints to my doctor about PMS 10 days a month. Good News , 10 mg significantly reduced my pms symptons which my family members truly appreciated but 25 pound weight gain in 16 months has left me feeling lousy so as of 12/30/00 , I began to wean by cutting to 5 mg daily and 72 hours later I am PLAGUED with nausea, vomiting, delayed vision, vertigo, chills, and constant tingling/ needle sensation suggesting my neurons are synasping into overdrive. Uncover your real Clinical Phase IV findings and treat your customers with respect; properly and ethically label your product. A very close friend is a producer at 20/20 and I will be asking her to once again revisit their paxil story. I know I can survive this but will use my energy to educate consumers. 13 Jan 2001 Time: 11:53:06 Remote User: – Comments My husband, 4 yr old daughter and I have been living in hell. Four yrs ago my husband started taking paxil for anxiety/depression. Over the yrs he has tried numerous times to get off the drug to no avail each and every time he has had to return to taking it because the withdrawls are so severe. My husband experiences extreme ANGER in his withdrawl it is absolutely uncontrollable and has resulted in having to take a week at a time off work. Our general physician who initially prescribed this drug is not educated in its withdrawl effects and so we were refered to a another physician who also seemed uneducated about the side-effects {including sexual disfunction, tiredness, dizziness,). We are in our early thirties, and feel we have no choice, but to deal with the side-effects of paxil rather than facing the hell of coming off Paxil. 13 Jan 2001 Time: 14:07:08 Remote User: – Comments To Whom It May Concern: I am a Registered Nurse who has been on Paxil since the spring of 2000. After several attempts to get off of your medication I am still going through terrible side effects. How would you like to be feeling nauseated all day long every day, have headaches, and feel like someone is giving you shocks of electricity every time you move your body whether it be you head, mouth, arm, leg etc. It’s a horrible way to have to go through withdrawal and because of this I am still having to take it. I can’t even get myself off by weening back my dose. I am a Registered Nurse and my anxiety is worse now then before I took it. How you could put this crap on the market knowing full well the complications it was going to cause people is beyond me. Like so many other drugs that are prescribed the bottom line is the buck and how much you stand to profit. PULL THE DRUG. Its obvious that the long term effects of taking the medication were never studied properly and along with the makers of PROZAC you should all be held responsible for the distress you are putting people through……Rhonda McDonald, RN 14 Jan 2001 Time: 19:13:42 Remote User: – Comments Life on earth is short. You should be ashamed that you have spent yours carelessly addicting helpless people to the drug Paxil, just for monetary gain. Do you not realize that you will spend eternity making up for this crime against those who mearly sought help? May you all rot in hell. Former Paxil user. 16 Jan 2001 Time: 22:41:07 Remote User: – Comments My name is Thomas Mokoid, I live in Coventry Ct., i have taken 40mg of paxil for nine months, cut down to 20mg for two months and I am now going through pure hell. Shocks,
