CCHR News Update « Psychiatric News: "• OpEdNews, an online news source, ran an article called, “A Chemical Imbalance—The Serotonin Myth” by Robert Fiddaman. The author writes that the “serotonin theory” is a complete myth, exploited by the drug company GlaxoSmithKline (antidepressant manufacturer). According to the article, “[H]ere we have GlaxoSmithKline’s paradox. Claim a drug replaces low levels of serotonin, when it has never been scientifically proven that it does, then once ‘hooked’ on the drug the serotonin myth becomes a reality. The levels one comes accustomed to whilst administering the drug are severely missed when withdrawing from the drug. That is the chemical imbalance. That is the reason why Seroxat [Paxil] is such a big seller. That is the reason why GlaxoSmithKline will never publicly admit Seroxat is the cause and not the cure for a chemical imbalance of serotonin in the brain.”
