A New study that was published in the British Journal of Medicine showed an alarming rate of suicidal behavior in adolescents that took the SSRI Paxil (Paroxetine) while being about as effective as placebo.
The researchers concluded "Neither paroxetine nor high dose imipramine showed efficacy for major depression in adolescents, and there was an increase in harms with both drugs."
If it is not effective and causes suicidal behavior, why is it on the market?
