Hi Denise,
It annoys me too, Seroxat has received much more publicity than the other SSRIs in the UK... mainly due to the Panorama documentary 'Secrets of Seroxat'.
Seroxat is seriously 'out of fashion' among GPs in the UK.... it was the most popular SSRI at one point, not anymore. Citalopram, Cipralex, Lustral, fluoxetine and Efexor are more popular at the moment.
Efexor hasn't received any publicity yet....... it will do though. There'll probably be a documentary about it's withdrawal symptoms at some point.
Sure.... Seroxat has withdrawal symptoms..... but so does Efexor, so does Lustral. The media seems to think it's unique.
Yeah, it might make you suicidal.... but Prozac, Cipramil, TCAs etc can do the same.
>What should really happen is the Doctors should monitor the patients more after they've prescribed it.
I agree, very important.
Kind regards
~Ed
