Zoloft E.P.S. ........initial clinical trials 1980's. says Dr. Clary for Pfizer

[Guest guest]

Footnote 2: Dr. Cathryn Clary, testifying on behalf of Pfizer,

admitted that Zoloft can cause akathisia during a Rule 30((6)

deposition in Motus v. Pfizer, Inc., 127 F.Supp.2d 1085 (C.D.Cal.

2000). Dr. Clary testified as follows:

Q Is akathisia also known as hyperkinesia?

A Yes.

Q And both akathisia and hyperkinesia are considered extrapyramidal

symptoms or disorders?

A Yes. Akathisia is considered an extrapyramidal symptom or

disorder, as is hyperkinesia. But, again, there could be other

causations. These terms are also similar to agitation, psycho motor

agitation. It often could be very difficult to tell the difference

between.

Q Do you agree that Zoloft can cause some people to experience

akathisia or hyperkinesia?

A Yes.

Q How long has that been established, to your knowledge?

A I'm sure there were reports of the initial clinical trials of the

depression database, depression studies that were occurring back in

the 1980's.
