when asked to support a UK petition (brought by the litigants) the mental health charity MIND declined to support them !
here is a copy of an e-mail (openly published by the seroxat USERS) from the PA to the C.E.O. of MIND sent to Derek Scott (on-line seroxat support group) May 2006
In relation to the P.I.L (patient info leaflet) the seroxatUSERSgroup are on record negotiating this with the MHRA (regulator) .............if they don't like it they have to consider their own role in creating it

Subject: RE: Seroxat Petition Derek I have asked our Policy department about your request and we are not able to engage with your request for the following reasons:-
There is a large body of evidence about the side effects of Seroxat,but so there is about other drugs.
There is also a large body of evidence of its success in treating a lot of people.
Mind thinks what we need is full information for people about both side effects and withdrawal symptoms so that people can make their own decision about whether or not to take it. Until recently the PIL has been less than honest, especially about withdrawal.
The latest version is much improved.
