Find a Paxil Lawyer with the Experience You Are Looking For

Paxil was made to treat conditions such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, and social anxiety disorder. If you or someone you know are currently taking this prescription drug and find that you are contracting symptoms that only add to such conditions rather than treating them, you automatically have a lawsuit and should find a Paxil lawyer as soon as possible.

You only have a limited amount of time to file your claim according to your state's laws. Find at least two or three ideal candidates for an interview and, if necessary, contact your local or state elected officials for advice. Some prominent figures in the U.S. government have already taken legal action on Paxil. Governor Eliot Spitzer of New York, for example, brought a lawsuit back in 2004 as attorney general because information from Paxil's studies on children and adolescents had been withheld.

Common side effects of Paxil include homicidal/suicidal tendencies, anxiety attacks, mood swings, birth defects, and aggressiveness. For these reasons, while the drug was approved back in 1992, it has never been approved for pregnant women or anyone under the age of 18. GlaxoSmithKline (Glaxo for short), Paxil's manufacturer, has recently come under strong criticism for its failure to produce black-box warnings on its drugs even after knowing its dangers well ahead of time. This is a violation of FDA requirements which makes Glaxo the primary target for your Paxil lawyer.

The current statistics on Paxil lawsuits may present you with challenges in finding the help you need; you may only be one of roughly 5,000 Americans who can file a claim. Also be aware that the overall legal process may take many months before your Paxil lawyer can win any compensation. To help lighten your financial burden, your attorney is likely to charge you contingency fees which only depend on the overall success of your case and are not up-front. If you would like to be weaned off of Paxil and possibly try an alternative treatment, you should revisit your doctor.

You cannot afford to take a gamble with your life and future. You must take prompt action in the event you find any of the aforementioned symptoms as a result of your use of Paxil. Your Paxil lawyer should be someone you know you can trust to give you a fighting chance at winning the full compensation you deserve. Do not hesitate; help put yourself and your loved ones at ease, as you have much at stake.
