Respectively, they were the manager of the Paxil Phase 4 clinical trials, and Head Statistician, if my recollection of their depositions (made about four years ago pursuant to a whole host of civil actions in the States), is correct. I asked the MHRA (the UK's FDA), whether it thought that this was a joke - specifically, how it was that a company could conduct the trials, right up its own results, and pretend that others had done it all, independently? It never responded, strangely enough.

This is an OUTRAGE. We should not be doing any more studies on these drugs. They have already been proven unsafe and ineffective. “In addition, among the 93 kids taking Paxil, five suicide-related adverse events occurred compared to only one in the group of 89 kids taking a placebo.”

It is far too easy to continue on in denial, far too easy to make excuses to justify what we do, to ourselves and we hope to others. I know a gentleman in the geriatric ward of a mental hospital who is on no psychiatric medications and yet he is on 4 or 5 others. I know he feels trapped. They give him Claritin, yet he has never been allergic to anything. He says they give it to all the patients on his ward, #15, at Broughton Hospital in NC. They give it to all of them because the air is very dry on the ward causing nose bleeds and this is supposed to help them. The doctor will not put in a humidifier; he has been asked to and pays no attention to the request. When will mental patients be treated like human beings? Do the drug companies really run mental hospitals now? Makes me wonder.

I would like to thank the author of this article for bringing to light the terrifying facts related to medication and how it really isn't about helping people who need it but is actually about helping the pocket books of a bunch of frauds. Thank you so much! I hope this article makes a difference so that no other children have to go through what i did.
