I'm sure they would use that defence, but it's possible that in some cases the symptoms aren't med-related and were being masked by meds, which is why we need to be cautious when reading these horror stories.
Is there even a scrap of rational scientific evidence that proves SSRI's caused these long-term effects?
> The problem with all of these stories, including our own, is that any academic pinhead, pharm expert, doctor, lawyer, judge, whoever, would say that these symptoms are manifestations of the underlying disease, not the meds, and that the meds are needed. It is the patient's fault for not seeking medical care to treat the symptoms. I guarantee you that is their way out of it.
