> You can report adverse events (drug reactions; interactions, etc. to FDA online, too. The URL is: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/medwatch/
>
orJust follow the links within the Medwatch homepage. You should attempt to get your doctor to do this, but if that isn't possible the consumer can do it, instead.

> Please call your Food & drug administration on your side effects & withdrawal symptoms. They are not aware unless YOU inform them. I would never have taken Zyban / welbutrin had I known I would have withdrawal symptoms that feel like brain seizures which come at me back to back. I could also describe this as being electrocted with high voltage to the brain every couple of seconds. I cannot even wean without having these horrific symptoms. The FDA is not aware of adverse effects unless we report them ! Oh, of course they have had some complaints but not enough (considering the millions of people on these psychotropic drugs) to warrent adding them to the list of side effects. Had we notified the FDA many of us would not have chosen a particular drug that might be causing these & other serious side effects. I've read of several deaths relating to these psychtropic drugs in the UK & Canada. Please alert the FDA regarding any adverse side effects so others can be more informed than we are. Call information for their listing, you can register the information over the phone. We may save a life! Go to all the sites you post drug reactions to & let others know of the importance of getting this information to the FDA. Who knows, some drug company might see the merit in creating something to help us through the withdrawals or side effects Luck to all.
