Kinda old news. I can see why starting on Paxil might be associated with suicide risk though. It doesn't make you depressed.. quite the opposite. It can make you feel a bit manic and twitchy for the first few days, and you can get mild tremors, sweats and cottonmouth too. Its uncomfortable, especially if you get started out on a high dose.
I see how the side effects might push someone already teetering on the edge of suicide or violence over it, but saying those things "caused" the suicide is a little ridiculous.
Like when a guy who's been sitting on his ass gobbling sausage for 50 years tries to jog and has a heart attack. Some nitwit will always blame the exercise.
