IMO and this is just an opinion, ssri's help more people than they hurt. It saved my life so we have different experiences. I knew all about the law suits and withdrawls, suicides etcetc but then again i needed it 5 months ago.
The problem with it is the potency and doc's hand them out in the states for a bad day, then that person ends up in a new living hell created by the drug. I agree with paxil there should be more warnings and the people prescribing it should be educated about it. It is the most powerful of the anti depressants. I am tapering off now and have horrible nightmares.
