Dear Ed: Your post actually made me cry. You have succinctly stated what I

and others have felt, and dealt with, for years . . . in my case 7 years, and

when you finally get down to the bottom of it, it is almost unfathomable that

our FDA and Big Pharma could be so corrupt and tainted as to allow these drugs

on the market after so much testimony and documentatation about the havoc

they wreak and the fraud under which they have been advertised and doled out to

nearly every living being, two legs or four. With all this furor over Vioxx,

Celebrex, and now Aleve, the focus is going to shift away from SSRIs, which in

my opinion are far more dangerous, given that some of them cause cancer,

strokes, heart problems, liver damage, etc. in addition to the violence that is

almost unremitting. The SSRIs are a modern-day scourge, and yet the regulatory

agency doesn't feel it's necessary to take them off the market because " some "

people are helped by them. . . the same way that Vioxx helped some people but

has now been trashed forever. It makes no sense to me. Your research and your

understanding of the problem give me hope that others, too, will see what a

fraud has been perpetrated on the public with respect to these drugs. I don't

believe one word GSK says about Paxil and how it is supposed works -- these

people are monsters, they are liars, and a veterinarian who looks like the devil

himself, invented this stuff incorporating a substance that the Nazis once

believed was too toxic for human consumption. As I said in a television

interview last year when asked what I wanted from GSK, I replied, " I want them

to

admit that Paxil was the biggest pharmaceutical blunder ever created. " Thanks

for your encouraging words, Ed. It makes the fight so much easier when we have

intelligent and coherent foot soldiers like you!!!!
