I'm having trouble finding reportsd of this in any other news source.. and I read a few daily so I'm auprised I missed this one. I'm also alerts from the British Society medicine and missed this on there.
I know they "suggested" that Seroxat (paxil) not be prescribed to under 18's.. and I know they were also going to "suggest" the same about Effexor..
But I'm not sure they have said that it will NOT BE ALLOWED under any circumstance to prescribe these.
I do know however that SSRI's can be dangerous.. I know that from first hand experience, and I know they are highly highly over prescribed here in UK, so I think ideas to curb their use is a good thing. Banning the, I agree, is wrong.
