Sorry that GSK never responded to my calls about setting up a hotline or public health forum for docs wanting to know more about withdrawal.....I guess they were too busy targeting Fid here.

We are <BR/>also sorry if the above content implies Dr Benbow lied, or is totally incompetent of discovering the truth. We are also sorry the UK did not have any lawful instrument to bring GSK before a criminal court, and therefor GSK have not been found guilty of <BR/>criminality. <BR/>On a more hopeful note, we understand the government intends to remedy the unhealthy to science, and dangerous to patient safety practice, of non-drug trial <BR/>disclosure in the near future.<BR/><BR/>Stuart and Claudette.<BR/><BR/>For the unitiated see the below extracts from the BBC's Panorama, and a Guardian Leader article, or access the URL's for further knowledge.<BR/>___________________________________<BR/>_http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/6291773.stm_<BR/>Secrets of the drug trials <BR/>Secret emails reveal that the UK's biggest drug company distorted trial results of an anti-depressant, covering up a link with suicide in teenagers. <BR/>Panorama reveals that <BR/>GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) attempted to show that Seroxat worked for depressed children despite failed clinical trials.<BR/>And that GSK-employed ghostwriters influenced 'independent' academics.(cut)<BR/>----------------------------------<BR/>_http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/mar/07/medicalresearch.glaxosmithklinebusiness/print_<BR/>Prescription for change<BR/>Leader <BR/>The Guardian, <BR/>Friday March 7 2008 <BR/>The regulators of the multibillion-dollar global drugs industry must sometimes feel like a barnacle on a whale: not easily able to influence the direction of travel.

It has taken four years to extract (it had to use its special powers on no less than 103 occasions) and then to <BR/>analyse a million pages of evidence that confirm the drugs company failed to report <BR/>the findings of Seroxat's potentially suicidal effect on young people in a "timely" manner. There was no warning of the potential problems that led to the MHRA's ban on prescribing the drug to under-18s until 2003, possibly several years after GSK first <BR/>had evidence. Even so, the MHRA has reluctantly concluded that there is no case for the company to answer in law.

Withholding information knowingly in the interest of sales is criminal. What is even more obscene is to then feel the need to silence those people, sufferers themselves, who dared speak out against GSK inhumane and depraved business practises. Since when is it all right for say a murderer to be complaining about being vilified by his victim.<BR/>Instead Mr. Fiddaman should be complimented on his courage to speak out what thousands seem to also feel. He is performing a service that especially GSK should be happy about, as it is in everybody´s interest that prescription medication is safe and has a minimum amount of side effects.

I called their line about them at least providing a hotline regarding a proper taper off paxil for docs. Being a RN, and PAXIL ADDICT, this is going to turn into a major health crisis as teens addicted to Paxil come off their parents health plans and can't afford the meds on their own...how many suicides will happen because these kids come off cold turkey. What about mothers that find out they are pregnant? We know you have to come Paxil at a snails pace. How will they do it? This is a big Public Health Issue! My husband is director of Arizona office of Public Health, Rural Health. Together we are working hard to somehow look into what is going to happen this next decade and write a book to do something to prevent it through the education of physicians. Most aren't even aware of the "discontinuation" problem. Doesn't GSK at least owe them that info?<BR/> I'm sorry but lies are lies. We do have to worry. I've wiped up the blood in my son's room after he self-mutilated on Paxil, I've tried to commit suicide twice on Paxill, and I've had blue baby in NICU from me being on Paxil. <BR/> Maybe the Logo is the only way they have to "attack" you but the truth still stands.SHELLYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315084956649424962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10459981.post-53158540533011096582008-03-30T16:43:00.000+01:002008-03-30T16:43:00.000+01:00BOO WOO GSK!

Right up until the point that GSK submitted data to the MHRA, whereupon the MHRA instigated an investigation, recently concluded that GSK had withheld data indicating a risk. I believe that Professor Woods was correct to publicly question the morality of this withholding of data, and, by extension, the morality of your client, and its management.<BR/> <BR/>Howsoever it may be, in the light of the recent Senate Finance Committee investigation into the intimdiation of Dr John Buse, I wished to ask whether or not it was standard policy at GSK to attempt to intimidate those who have things to say about the Company, its personnel and products that the Company doesn't like?
