Paxil Induced Suicide

Our lawyers are currently evaluating Paxil suicide cases for family members of individuals who have taken Paxil and committed or attempted to commit suicide while on the drug. Multiple studies have been conducted suggesting that Paxil and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors induce suicidal thoughts in some people, especially children, adolescents and teenagers.

In June of 2003, British regulators issued warnings against prescribing Paxil in children. Such warnings were issued as a result of studies indicating that Paxil could increase the risk of suicide three fold in children and adolescents under 18. Later in June of 2003, the United States Food and Drug Administration reported a possible increase risk of suicidal thinking and suicidal attempts in children and adolescents under the age of 18 treated with Paxil.

Our attorneys are evaluating Paxil cases in an effort to help families determine whether Paxil may have played a role in their loved one's suicide or attempted suicide. Our lawyers work closely with other law firms across the country and with experts who have been involved in Paxil suicide litigation.

Our attorneys and paralegals understand that the issues surrounding suicide cases are extremely personal to the families who have experienced such a tragedy. As a result, all correspondence and other communication regarding any potential Paxil suicide case will be treated with the utmost respect and confidentiality.
