Hi, Christmas day 2000...My husband Chuck found out that people with Hepatitis 
should not ever take Paxil , so he stopped taking it. Not knowing there were 
terrible withdrawal problems and his Doctor didn't know either. I have 
Documents form Smithkline Beecham that they sent me after the fact stating that
the doctors were unaware of all the problems. My husband on the 3rd day off 
Paxil lost his mind , confusion, hallucinating and buzzing in his head he 
reached for the phone ina frantic and grabbed my hair and I was scared and the 
neighbour called the police. We have been fighting this siuation since then.. 
He was in the emergancy room at the hospital for this and then he went to jail,
after he was stablized with Paxil and Xanax. I have stood by my husband from 
day one of this situation and I will until the end of this crap, but because of 
my red-headed Irish stubborness the DA in our county decided she didn't like me 
and has added 4 more charges onto my husband by lying to the grand jury. She 
had threatened our attorney with this if my husband disn't take the plea deal 
she offered. well, now my husband is looking at 9 years in prison and up to 
120,000 dollars in fines because of him having withdrawal problems off of 
Paxil. All he did is grab my hair and he doesn't even have any memory of this.
We go to trial This Thursday and we are fighting it with the Oregonian and the
local papr and we are going to be suing the Smithkline Beecham comany over 
this and also the District Attorneys Office. We have a good lawyer and he is 
willing to take these cases. I hope nobody ever has to go through what we have 
it is terrible. Myhusband hasn't had a drop of alcohol in over 2 years and we 
bought 2 houses and we have honor roll kids. Our lives were wonderful until he 
had a problem with depression and they put him on Paxil. He still is on it and 
the Doctor recommends that he stays on it until after the court hearing. We 
have a lot of evidence against Paxil and the withdrawal problems and I hope 
everyone out there that is trying to get off Paxil makes it without any 
problems like we are going through. Good luck to everyone.    

Chuck and Sally

Sally:  I wonder how many people are in your husband's position.  I'm sure 
there are thousands, but they just wind up in jail and we never hear from 
them again.  You MUST fight this with all you've got.  You MUST make as much 
noise as possible about this situation.  Paxil is an evil nasty drug, much 
like Halcion was before there was a major government clampdown and the drug 
was pulled from all the markets except the US. But it took a lot of mayhem 
and murder before anyone saw what this drug was capable of doing.  Have you 
contacted the lawyer who are suing SKB for lying about the withdrawals???  
They are in Santa Clara, California, and THEY know just how badly SKB lied 
about this poison.  You and your husband are in my prayers.
