mrgreen - There is no hard evidence on anything you are saying. If you say it is out there, can you provide any of it? I would think with your focus in school, you would have access to such information. My sister who is head of Rhumetology at Denver General has never heard of Paxil causing any sort of memory issues. Clonazepam on the other hand is documented in the PDR as causing some memory issues.
My psychiatrist knows the brain inside out, and has been practicing for 40 years as a psychiatrist. He has been a special consultant to many universities around the country, as well as governments all over the world. He said the only thing I should worry about related to Paxil is sexual disfunction and weight gain. I would think he would be quite aware of any memory problems with Paxil as he has been perscribing it since it came out. He says it is the best drug of it's class out of all the others, relating to side effects.
You are making quite an accusation of SmithKline Beecham with nothing to back it up.
I know I come off as on the offensive towards you mrgreen, but I'm really frustrated hearing different things from everyone. I have done quite a bit of research into this, and as Lil Debbie also said, there is nothing about Paxil and memory loss anywhere.
I don't really know why I am on Paxil, as I am on Clonazepam. I know that when I tried getting off my Clonazepam I felt as if I was striken with a terrible disease, and my panic came back right away after lowering my dose.
If you have any sort of evidence to back up the information about Paxil, I'd love to see it. If it is out there, then SmithKline Beecham is lieing to the public and should be sued.
I'd love to hear more from you.
