Matt Holford admits Seroxat petition response was "rather modest"

Hey Annie,

Thanks for your support (I should own up that my experience is with fluoxetine, rather than paroxetine, but, well, sue me!). I have to admit, also, that I'm a bit disappointed with the rather modest response to the petition, given that the much more moderate one, asking for an enquiry into licensing procedures, or somesuch, and started at the same time as mine, is well on its way to 300 signatures. I'm not that bothered, it just seems odd.



Sorry to hear about your experiences. The business over withdrawal is a very controversial one, as you know, with all kinds of dubious games of semantics being played (have you read the Expert Working Group's report on SSRIs - it's as dull as dishwater, but explains how it came to the conclusion that SSRIs aren't addictive!).



Anyway, if you fancy a laugh, drop in at Seroxat User Group, Seroxat Secrets, Seroxat Sufferers and GSK Licence to (K)ill, (by the Truthman), which are all eye-openers. It's a good bunch of people, who post there, and the network is rather wider than a few people who've suffered the adverse reactions, although the journalists, MPs, lawyers and scientists tend to keep a lower profile (except for Michael Moore)! We're deadly serious about this, but we know how to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all, too!
