Filing a Paxil Lawsuit

If you have taken Paxil and have experienced serious side effects, you need to look into whether filing a Paxil lawsuit would be beneficial. Understand that there are many side effects linked to medication that is used to treat depression. With Paxil, some of these conditions could be experiencing dizziness, insomnia, weight changes, loss of appetite, decrease in sex drive, constipation or ringing of the ears.

However, there are serious side effects that the FDA specifically warned consumers and has asked the manufacturer to also warn their clients about. These adverse effects are the birth defects that occur when a woman is taking Paxil during her first three months of pregnancy. It is important to note that it is not known how Paxil affects a fetus older than three months. Paxil also is a drug known to pass through a nursing mother’s milk. If you are planning to nurse your baby, be sure to inform your doctor of this decision. Do not stop taking Paxil without speaking to your doctor. If you stop taking Paxil without discussing this with your doctor first, it could cause various medical conditions.

Paxil is also known to cause patients to have an increased amount of suicidal tendencies. Anyone who takes Paxil should be closely observed for any behavior or emotional changes.
