FAQs
Was Paxil approved by FDA? Why was it prescribed? What are the adverse side effects of taking Paxil?
What is the statute of limitations in a case alleging suicidal tendencies or severe withdrawal symptoms caused by Paxil?
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. Why should I go to an attorney when it seems that I should be able to negotiate a settlement with the company on my own? Or would there be a benefit to joining a class action in my case?
Are there any special considerations in a case involving Paxil?
What are the major legal issues involved in a case when someone has been injured by Paxil?
What defenses are the drug manufacturer and/or my doctor likely to use?
What types of damages are available in a case involving an injury caused by Paxil?
My child’s doctor prescribed Paxil for her to treat her depression. She attempted suicide and, while she survived, she suffered significant brain damage. We believe her use of Paxil led to her suicide attempt. How do we prove this?
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?
