I wholeheartedly agree with you, blackjack. I used to take Paxil (I was once at 40mg), and I withdrew from it easily.

Now, as for Effexor, that's another story!

> Y'know, this lawsuit would have a much better chance if they didn't keep referring to Paxil withdrawl in terms of "addiction." Paxil is not addictive. It does not produce a craving for more Paxil. It does not cause people to seek out the drug despite negative consequences. It doesn't produce a tolerence. It just has a withdrawl syndrome. While most addictive drugs have withrawl symptoms, simply having withdrawl symptoms does not make a drug addictive.
