I have an official reaction of GSK, of course it is full of official b***sh** ,but I noticed too that they did not deny withdrawal anymore but merely emphasized the statements in the more recents leaflets that potential serious discontinuations could occur and for some people can take longer than 3 weeks... Also they started that my complaint fulfilled the requirements to report to the medicine regulator within 2 weeks. I am asked to delvier some exact info, among others a declaration from the farmacist which brand I had taken (I fact I did not swallow the GSK version but the Merck variant).
I am still not sure how far I will go and how much energy I will put in this, I am in any case not intented to spend even one penny for an expensive lawyer who does not know more than we, so I am my own lawyer in this... And I made an appointment to my GP to deliver the requested info. Maybe it will help me that about 2 weeks ago in all newspapers was read that GSK deliberately withheld crucial safety information about a few meds, among them Paxil.
I still want financial compensation of the about 20.000 euros I have lost due to the inability to work, and though I know chances are low, I too realize that things are changing now, more and more people are aware of the criminal activities of farma and GSK in particular and want to do all I can to get my rights. And if I don't, at least feel that I did what I could do.
