subject: Autism On Children Blamed On Paxil Side Effect [print this page] Medical reports from patients and clinical findings implicate antidepressants, like Paxil, in several serious and even life-threatening side effects. Among the harmful effects of antidepressants that have come to light is the probable risk for autism in a child, according to a July 2011 Cable News Network (CNN) report. A research conducted by Lisa Croen, Ph.D., director of autism research at Kaiser Permanente Northern California, found that infants who were exposed to antidepressants during the first trimester of their mother's pregnancy were four times likely to develop a disorder on the autism spectrum (ASD) compared to those who were not exposed to the drug.
As was shown in recent data, people with depression disorder should consider another way of treatment other than Paxil intake, which has been consistently blamed for causing harmful side effects. Other than the clinical findings and research studies, reports from patients claimed that Paxil caused severe damage on their lives, in general, and health, in particular. These reports are corroborated through the Paxil lawsuits they filed against GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), its manufacturer.
Paxil has been the object of litigation due to the various harms it had caused the patients, including birth defects, suicide, abnormal mood shifts, unusual personality changes, hallucination, psychosis, insomnia, hostility, agitation, self-harm and other acts of violence.
Numerous Paxil lawsuits have been charged against its manufacturer to recover damages for those who committed suicide while using Paxil. The litigations contend that GSK failed to warn the public about the dangers of taking Paxil. One class action in California implicated the company of restricting the information about the side effects of Paxil from the public. Moreover, the company was accused by US governmental institutions of illegally interfering with the release of a generic version of Paxil. Because of this, other states paid more for the antidepressant drug in their health programs.
Thus, to determine if someone qualifies for a financial compensation, one should seek legal advice (if he/she has been a Paxil victim) A number of Paxil Lawsuit are now being filed by lawyers on behalf of claimants. Also, it is necessary to see a medical professional about the health damages you experienced while taking Paxil. He/she may provide you a safer way to cope with your depression.
