Guest guest Posted December 8, 2004 Report Share Posted December 8, 2004 This is what my friend Rob will be posting soon on his SSRI Citizen website. I am particularly outraged at this information because my sister was just dx'd with cancer in both breasts. She took Paxil for just two weeks 5 or 6 years ago. Hell would be too good for the executives at GSK who are no better than the Nazi bastards who maimed, tortured, and killed millions of people. God help GSK if I get breast cancer. Paxil Use and the Seven-Fold Increased Incidence of Breast Cancer http://www.cbc.ca/stories/2002/02/14/Consumers/depressioncancer_020214 (For a brief review of the “Paxil-breast cancer link†in a friendly, news media format click on the link above.) Looks like we just keep going from bad to worse, eh? Research done by Cotterchio of Cancer Care Ontario found that women who took Paxil saw their risk of breast cancer increase by seven times — even when other possible risk factors were fully accounted for. (See the New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 342, June 29, 2000, p. 2003) A second study by Cotterchio pointed out that Paxil stimulates prolactin secretion and is a potent inhibitor of the cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme — both factors in an increased breast cancer risk. (See American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 151, May 15, 2000, pp. 951-57) However, the breast cancer did not show up until 11 to 15 years after the initial exposure to Paxil. “The 10 year delay … suggested to us that the drug(s) (ed.: there are others) might be acting as tumor initiators,†said Dr. Colin Sharpe, the lead researcher, in a news release. Dr. Sharpe cautioned that patients “need not panic and throw away their medication.†Not panic?! Are you kidding? The chances of a woman developing breast cancer — even if they don’t take Paxil are — what, one in eight? Personally, if I were a woman I wouldn’t touch Paxil even if the studies had concluded there was only a two-or-three-fold incidence in the increased rate of cancer. But here’s the real kicker: the studies included women who had taken Paxil for as few as two weeks. (As I sit here writing about this and collating this information I think about about the millions of women GSK marketing is now poised to suck in to treat PPMD with Paxil.) Does GSK know about the Paxil-breast cancer link? Oh, you better bet they do. The December, 2000 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology contains a letter from GSK (then SKB) that questions the validity of Dr. Cotterchio's conclusions. (Imagine that!) See: American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 152, December 1, 2000, pp. 1104-05 (letters to the editor) " Blind Reason " a novel of pharmaceutical intrigue Think your antidepressant is safe?
