It seems like common knowledge that Paxil causes increased suicidal tendencies and that some people can’t stop taking it due to the side effects of withdrawal.

What are the major legal issues involved in a case when someone has been injured by Paxil?

My wife had Paxil prescribed for her but decided to quit taking it without talking to her doctor. She suffered terrible withdrawal symptoms, including intense dizziness and vertigo which caused her to fall down a flight of stairs and seriously injure herself. How can we prove that the drug caused her dizzy spells? Will our damages be reduced because she decided on her own to stop taking the drug?

My child’s doctor prescribed Zoloft for her to treat her depression. While on the drug, she became extremely agitated and, a week later, attempted suicide. We believe her use of Zoloft led to her suicide attempt. How do we prove this?
My husband was taking Zoloft but decided to quit taking it without talking to his doctor because he was getting so agitated. After he stopped taking the drug, he committed suicide.
