Seroxat 1993 note high incidence of withdrawal reports from GP's - source Dr Healy

Seroxat & Withdrawal - 3





From shortly after the licensing of this drug on the UK market, the Medicines Control Agency was flooded with reports of withdrawal problems for Seroxat. In 1993, the Drug Safety Research Unit study of Seroxat noted a high frequency of general practitioner reporting of withdrawal problems – although the DSRU suggested without making clear the basis for this suggestion that this high frequency of withdrawal problems did not indicate dependence.
