2002 setback for Mark Harvey - California federal court rulled Seroxat/Paxil “non addictive”.

Richard Hornsby CEO of Defeatdepression said -

Let me make it clear - I don’t give a fig about GlaxoSmithKline, its bottom line or anything about the company. What I do know however is that there are vitally important issues at stake in this debate.

then went on to say -

There is a new group in the UK called the Seroxat Users Group. This of course is not what it is – it is a group of anti-seroxat users, and a trojan horse if ever there was one. The names deliberately disguise their real purpose. “Oh I see, these people represent all the people who take Seroxat” you might reasonably think. Of course they don’t - nothing could be further from the truth, and that’s the trick. Mark Harvey is a solicitor who also represents this self appointed Seroxat Users Group in the UK, and who says that the number of people joining this group is growing daily, rapidly reaching 1,000 members. Last Thursday GSK won a lawsuit in California which had been taken against the company accusing it of wrongly advertising Seroxat as being “non addictive”. The federal judge ruled the case had no merit. The current ruling in California will no doubt be something of a setback to Mr Harvey, and Messrs Hugh James. In the meantime Mr Harvey and others continue to try to get more members to join the Seroxat Users Group.
