Paxil Attorneys

Paxil Victims - Keep Track of the Following

If you've been taking Paxil, you did so because you've been treating a serious psychological condition. Problems that Paxil was meant to solve or control include depression and obsessive compulsive disorder, among other things, and those conditions can do a great amount of damage to anyone's life.

However, it's been asserted that taking Paxil can also create serious problems of its own, including birth defects, nausea, blood pressure issues and perhaps most egregiously, a strong addiction to the drug and the potential for serious birth defects in the children whose pregnant mothers were taking the drug. If you're thinking of speaking to a Paxil lawyer because of the suffering you've endured from taking this drug, the attorneys at Williams Kherkher would like to provide you with a few things to gather/organize/remember as you prepare to explore your situation from a legal standpoint.

Your Moods/Physical State

After you start taking Paxil and you notice some potential side effects, take five minutes per day to keep a journal of your moods and thoughts. You should also catalog any physical manifestations that you notice. For instance, if you're feeling dizzy and/or nauseous on a particular day, make note of that fact in your journal and date it properly. You should also make special note of any abnormal thoughts you've been having, such as the desire to hurt yourself or worse, or thoughts that center on doing something negative to someone else.

Documentation

You should also find a manila folder and keep meticulous, chronological records of any and all prescriptions that you've been issued by your doctor, the number of times you've taken the drug and any and all visits to your doctor. For instance, if you go to see your doctor because of the physical problems you may be experiencing, make sure to take some time that night to write down what happened at the doctor's office - what you told the doctor, what he or she told you, and what the doctor recommended in terms of dealing with these issues.

Overall

The recommendations above may seem somewhat arduous, but five or ten minutes per day is time that's very well-spent if you wind up suffering as a result of taking Paxil, as many others around the world have since it hit the market.
