Paxil is the black box out of the SSRI's for causing suicidal thoughts, it's happened for a long time
they should really keep it away from teenager, paroxetine is a potent serotonin thing, not as potent as lexepro and luvox, yet it's a good anxiety medication, but it does something to the brain to make them want to end it quick

This is what I'm thinking right now:
1. Imipramine is more effective in depression than is placebo. Any study that does not demonstrate this is a failed study. I don't think that any data produced by such a study can be deemed reliable.
2. Paroxetine is more apt to produce suicidal states in young people than are the other marketed SSRIs.
3. Paroxetine is more apt to produce suicidal states in younger people than in older people.
4. Paroxetine, when it fails to produce an antidepressant response, is more apt to produce suicidal states than is placebo.
5. Paroxetine is more effective in depression and anxiety disorders than is placebo in both adults and young people.
6. Paroxetine is more apt to produce suicidal states than imipramine.
7. Paroxetine is more effective in anxiety disorders than are other SSRIs.
8. For any antidepressant, some severely anergic or psychomotor-retarded depressed people who begin to respond favorably to treatment will feel more suicidal during the first 3 weeks of improvement, when mental energy returns without a commensurate improvement in mood or outlook. In these cases, an antidepressant will be more likely to trigger suicidality than placebo.
9. Doctors need to inform their patients that an antidepressant can make them feel worse, and that they must contact the doctor immediately should this occur.
10. Doctors need to monitor their patients closely early in treatment. Seeing a patient every week or every two weeks seems prudent.
Using medication to treat mental illness is not an easy decision to make. There are a great many factors to take into consideration.

yea they need to write in the psychiatric guidelines to not use paroxetine with people who have emotional issues and are under the age of 18.......it does something that other SSRI's don't in sectors of the brain that produce suicidal thoughts, it's dangerous to use for people under 18 with disturbed states

Again what was once counted as proven science is now becoming the opposite. Geez this is just a bad situation we have in healthcare. One step to take by the general public to avoid these things is to not buy into the "proven science" so fast and chant our praises of the industries, especially when money and power are involved. I think we all understand this, but corporations like the makers of Paxil (GSK I think) are finding ways to avoid too much scrutiny by the public and into their homes.
