OOOPS! I posted before I finished my point, which is as a Psych Tech I saw how these medications effected people. I also witnessed the ‘flavor of the month’ syndrone as different drugs burst on the scene; the latest greatest every time. Thing is, once folks had taken them for a while it was quite apparent the cure was worse than the disease.

I just looked at the website for Paxil. They are warning about Serotonin reactions now. I didn't check to see if they warned about the male bladder blockage reaction though. My doctor who wrote prescribed it never heard of it but the ER sure had. LOL.. I bet he didn't the poor man would be scared to go back after that nightmare. That is another potentially fatal reaction and you can be in serious trouble before you realize it. Dysreflexia can kill. Doctor and Patient Education on the medications is the key to good results and lack of it tragic results. Big Pharm was very slow in releasing known or suspect side effects.
