Sen. Grassley: Drug Companies “Bamboozled the FDA” on SSRI Antidepressants

“The report shows that Glaxo [makers of Paxil] knew in 1989, long before
Paxil was FDA approved, that people taking the drug were 8 times more likely to
engage in suicidal behavior than people given a placebo, or sugar pill. Now,

Paxil if given these facts. Also, parents certainly would decline if they
were told about the risks. . . .
