Paxil warning

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

This appeared twice; first a British study, and now an FDA warning. The study finds that children and adolescents taking Paxil show increased suicidal thoughts. If your child is using it, you should talk to a doctor who keeps up with recent studies.

It is very frieghtening that medications are being used on children that are not recommended for them and in fact dangerous.

There is also a warning to not just take a child off medication abruptly.

Ironic that SSRI’s have only been licensed for use in minors this past spring.
