Paxil Promises Hot Flush Relief - But No One Ever Said It Was Safe
This really burns me up. Just as I was giving a drug, Valium, a guarded pass for use in the elderly for mental alertness (see last month's Health Note 'Get a younger brain in minutes'), I get an e-Alert bulletin from Rachael Linkie of Health Sciences Institute (HSI) about a horrifying new use for Paxil, a drug that almost destroyed my daughter. It was given to her by a gynaecologist, who probably knows even less about the mind and how to 'treat' it than psychiatrists (who know nothing).
Paxil is the trade name for paroxetine, one of the most God-awful drugs ever invented, in my opinion. The withdrawals from this devil's brew are as bad or worse than withdrawal from heroin. I've witnessed it; trust me, this is an evil drug that has no legitimate place in medicine. A doctor would have to be ignorant or brain dead to assault a patient (almost always women) with this ingestible hand grenade. The whole thing just makes me sick to my stomach.
