Of course that is not the drug causing the suicides, the placebo is just more effective at controlling depression initially. < /sarcasm>

Or, more logically, there are issues that come up when the drug starts lifting the depression. Depression dampens the energy needed to do a lot of things. Certainly suicide is something taking initiaitive.

Yeah that is the ticket. How about fact that FROM THE BEGINNING Lilly should have been recomending a mood stabilizer if this was the case!

This drug is a godsend for some but Lilly has hidden the side effects to market their biggest money maker to EVERYONE.

I am glad nothing happened to you while taking this drug. That has not been the case for several near me.

I've argued your position. My 10 year old son was prescribed paxil for extreme anxiety. We worked with a therapist for more than 2 years before trying the medication. One week after a dosage increase he was manic and trying to kill himself at school.

Luckily all we suffered was incredible fear and upset as the child was hospitalized for two weeks. He suffered major humiliation as this happened at school.

I want the truth. I want to know if the drug companies knew their meds could produce mania in patients who are not bi-polar, and if they have lied about it.

I was willing to take a risk. As far as I understood it, the risk was 1%.
