I have gotten a reply from the director of the Lareb institute for the safety of medicines.
And I must say it is a bit disappointing. She praised the fact that I did issue a compaint and she also said she was aware of the withdrawal problems of paroxetine. She had the opinion that the problem was partly due to the fact that the leaflets between different manufactureres and countries are not well synchronized and told me that they were working on that right now and this would be solved in the upcoming years
(I think that a drug as paroxetine is so extremely dangerous and addicting it should never be prescribed unless in very severe cases of persistent and life-threatening depression and all leaflets should contain correct and detailed instructions about tapering off safely).
Also she acknowledged that taking medicines can sometimes have dire consequences.
But she did not give a reaciton to the disgusting answer of GSK or offer any help to force GSK to a reaction, nor showed much willingness to explore the Paxil/Seroxat issue in more detail or assist me in legal action against the developer, although I included a transcription of the notorious interview with GSK responsible Alastair Benbow were his shameless lies almost dripped from the paper...
Still, I am convinced that she is not corrupt and is not paid by Big Pharma. I think my letter is just one of the many they recieve and their power is pretty limited. For me, this was the last institutional authority I could write to, so there is hardly anything to do now anymore except for healing further from this. And look for a job, hopefully later this year.
