Mark Harvey's group calimed 10,000 yet served 314 Seroxat writs - who keeps the public funded legal aid?

. It was the first antidepressant to be slapped with a suicide-risk warning. It's drawn fire--and lawsuits--from U.S. patients who say they went into withdrawal when trying to quit treatment. Now, a group of UK patients are suing GlaxoSmithKline for the same withdrawal problems, seeking up to $98,000 per patient, or $31 million-plus with the 314 patients participating so far. Of course, it's not simply the monetary damages that could hurt, but the attendant publicity, which might turn off potential patients

2.30 in Jofre says - ” read a little bit in news paper about patients complaints” year 2000 about ” Seroxat difficult to withdraw from” .. Jofre found it intriguing Jofre had only just started working on Panorama at that stage




3.30 in ” Jofre calls SSRI’s “SELECTIVE Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors”



4.14 Jofre knew little of how the pharmcutical industry worked



4 .30 in Ed says - lets look at antidepressant story



4 45 Jofre says although problems with whole class of antidepressants we (bbc) decided to concentrate on Seroxat Why we narrowed down on Seroxat 1 because it was made by GSK 2 all the drugs in class cause suicidal thinking on dose change 3 Seroxat had a unique problem of withdrawal BECAUSE IT WAS LONGER ACTING … we decided to focus research into this drug



6.00 in - 40 min Panorama film took Shelley Jofre 8 months to make



6.10 in - It’s not something you do lightly WE WERE TAKING ON the worlds second largest drug company



7.30 We were talking to the lawyer the whole way through production



9.30 in - Jofre says “we took a punt” on Dr David Healy

Seroxat withdrawal freefall - how did they get off - expose legalaid fraud - all SSRI/SNRI not just Seroxat

www.ahrp.org/COI/PaxilDeclineUK.pdf -

Chart 5 demonstrates the immense value to Society of free and independent Public Service

Broadcasting and Internet communication. This combination has triggered the growth of
awareness of SSRI danger. It has united the many thousands of victims of SSRIs across the
world with some professionals who have laboured so long in a cause for saving lives, seeking justice and exposing dysfunctional drug regulation. Chart 5 shows that the tide has turned in the UK. Great encouragement should be taken from this life saving victory. However efforts must continue both to expose the known risks of paroxetine (Seroxat, Paxil) and all the other ill validated SSRIs and to call for the establishment an effective independent Drug Safety Regulator in every country, the absence of which is the root cause of this ongoing officially supported tragedy.

Poor Paxil. It was the first antidepressant to be slapped with a suicide-risk warning. It's drawn fire--and lawsuits--from U.S. patients who say they went into withdrawal when trying to quit treatment. Now, a group of UK patients are suing GlaxoSmithKline for the same withdrawal problems, seeking up to $98,000 per patient, or $31 million-plus with the 314 patients participating so far. Of course, it's not simply the monetary damages that could hurt, but the attendant publicity, which might turn off potential patients.





Sold as Seroxat in the UK, the drug is "defective" under Britain's 1987 Consumer Protection Act--or so says the patients' attorney, Mark Harvey of the law firm Hugh James. A few of his clients have not been able to stop taking Seroxat because of their withdrawal symptoms, he says. When they began treatment, not only was there no warning of withdrawal problems on the drug's label, but it specifically stated that the drug was not addictive.



Harvey has been working on this suit since at least 2004, when it first became fashionable to sue Glaxo for Paxil/Seroxat-related woes. The drug was banned in the UK for kids under 18 in 2003; since then, lawsuits over paroxetine's side effects have flown on both sides of the Atlantic.Read more: http://209.85.229.132/search?q=cache:HVY-Qp_p-YAJ:www.fiercepharma.com/story/uk-patients-sue-paxil-withdrawal/2008-01-09+harvey+seroxat&cd=14&hl=en&ct=clnk

When I tapered off Paxil I used an oral syringe. I 'came down' by half a mg per week and it took me 18 months to taper down from 40mg per day to 22mg per day. That is NOT a discontinuation, that IS a withdrawal. Paxil IS addictive, there are thousands of stories of people suffering because they cannot taper off this drug.




After 18 months I went cold turkey. It took me 3 months to get passed the zaps, profuse sweating, anger outbursts, suicidal thoughts, craving (temptation to go back on Paxil) plus a whole host of other side effects.




There are over 10,000 stories online from patients who have suffered withdrawal symptoms at the hands of Paxil. To suggest that antidepressants are not addictive is basically sticking your middle finger up to those that have... and still are suffering trying to taper off this drug.

Seroxat Panorama watched by 4.4 million - produced only 1,374 e-mails !

An estimated 4.4m people recently watched “Secrets of Seroxat” (Panorama, BBC-TV), a 50-minute programme about paroxetine, an SSRI antidepressant for which UK general practitioners wrote an estimated 4.7m prescriptions in 2001. The programme attracted a record response, including some 65,000 telephone calls, 124,000 website hits, and 1,374 emails.We systematically analysed the contents of these emails, and in this paper consider how they might help clinicians and their patients, as well as providing an indispensable element in pharmacovigilance and post-marketing drug surveillance.

Figure 2


Suspected adverse drug reactions to paroxetine (yellow-card reports) per 100 000 paroxetine prescriptions by year and month between 2001 and 2004. Arrows indicate dates of Panorama programmes (solid arrows) or regulatory communications (dashed arrows)


Analysis of yellow-card data suggests that adverse publicity, particularly the three Panorama programmes, was associated with marked, short-term peaks in reporting (Figure 2). The mean rate of yellow-card reporting (per 100 000 prescriptions) in the month before each regulatory announcement was 7.6 vs. 8.0 in the month after. In contrast, the mean rate of yellow-card reporting in the month before each media publicity episode was 8.3 vs. 13.4 in the month after. An identical pattern of peaks and troughs in yellow-card reporting of suspected adverse drug reactions to paroxetine was observed when the temporal trend in number of reports was plotted (data not shown).
