The case, which has been filed in California, is the first ever to claim damages for addiction against one of the drug companies that have made billions from SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors) - the class of drug of which Prozac is the best known - and which were hailed as "wonderdrugs" when they first hit the market in the 1980s
The drug is known as Seroxat in Britain and Paxil in the US. There are 35 people in the class action at the moment - from a website designer to a bank fraud investigator and a senior airforce
officer - but many more are expected to join it. All were prescribed Paxil Seroxat for mild depression or anxiety and none was told they might become hooked.
If you feel the use of Paxil
has harmed you or a loved one you should contact your attorney to see if you have a case.If you feel you were harmed from any type of legal drug file a suit by contacting an attorney.
