Tim Tobin's wife and baby daughter had their lives stolen when his father in law, Donald Schell, shot them dead shortly after taking Paxil (Seroxat). He then turned the gun on his wife and then on himself.

The court ruled it was the drug that made him kill and Tim was awarded $6.5 million in damages from GlaxoSmithkline who make Seroxat (Paxil). Nothing can compensate for the fact his entire family was wiped out.

Warning

 

The most extreme reactions to antidepressants, including suicide and violence, are more common when the dosage of an antidepressant changes or when starting or discontinuing the medication. Sometimes these reactions are caused by switching from one type of antidepressant to another. Anyone considering altering the dosage of their medication or withdrawing from it should take medical advice first from a doctor or suitably qualified practitioner. Some doctors are unaware of these issues so you may need to find one who recognises the problems and can support you.
