Paxil Settlement On… You Tube; Watch Here
8 CommentsBy Ed Silverman // July 10th, 2007 // 7:44 am
In an unusual move, the Public Citizen advocacy group has posted a video on YouTube to alert parents to a $48 million settlement of a lawsuit concerning Glaxo’s Paxil antidepressant and side effects. The drugmaker was required to announce the settlement terms last October, but wasn’t to publicize that the terms were improved and simplified in April, the group notes.
Even without receipts, parents can recover up to $100, but any money that isn’t claimed prior to the August 31, 2007, deadline will revert back to Glaxo. Although it’s not clear, Public Citizen may be correct in noting this is the first time such a class-action settlement uses YouTube to publicize terms.
The video, which is just a minute and a half, resembles a public service announcment read by a news anchor, who says: “Now, $48 million is sitting in a fund waiting to pay back parents whose children were on Paxil before their 18th birthday.” You can also visit www.paxilpayback.org.

I am so glad this is being put out there so the public can maybe start realizing that the drug companies and the FDA are not looking out for our best interest but their very own. Drugging children AND adults is making our society a robot society. Weight problems? Take a drug. Marriage problems? Take a drug. Leg problems? Take a drug. Can’t control your children? Take a drug AND give them some! It’s unbelievable so again, thank you for putting this out there!

A little spacey on the production side, but, as Martha Stewart would say, “It’s a good thing.” (the announcement)

This was a greatly needed step! Great job to all the people who made this all possible. This brings hope that things can change!!!

You call this a step!!!!! These bastard drug companies are killing people with these antidepressants and all they are doing is paying for their prescriptions. They should be sued, but the government doesn’t allow you to sue drug companies anymore since Bush has been in. Doesn’t that make you feel warm and cozy inside???? Did you honestly think that the drug companies were honest. Try also the “honesty” of the FDA, also corrupt.

What went on With paxil and kids was disgusting.
Many kid died, attempted suicide and self harmed
while on Paxil, it should never have been prescribed
To this age group at all…
And all GSK offer the parents is the price of a subscription!
Check out my youtube videos about Paxil(Seroxat)
One in particular about Study 329 (GSK’s failed paxil child study)

It is important if you have been hurt by paxil to seek professional help. If you or someone you know has been injured by Paxil you have legal rights and this site has the information you need.
