What do you think about the damage cause by the MMR vaccine?
What do you think about the three doctors up against the GMC for helping the damage children.
Do you know Brian Deer who has attacked the parents and the doctors?
Many thanks

Well, Isabella, I’m afraid that MMR vaccine controversy is not within my sphere of expertise.
I don’t know about the “three doctors up against the GMC”
Finally, no I don’t know Brian Deer, but I have seen one of his programmes on Channel 4 about the Northwick Park drug tests that went so badly wrong.

well, have the fbi and others looked into another dangerous product put out by GLAXOSMITHKLINE THAT THE COMPANY REFUSES T O HELP THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK IT BEFORE THE FDA REQUIRED THE DRUG COMPANY TO PUT WARNINGS ON IT.
IT SEEMS THAT GLAXOSMITHKLINE AND CEO SIR CHRIS GETN IN PARTICULAR CARE LITTLE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOEMRS AFTER THEY PURCHASE THEIR PRODUCTS.
I WAS PRESCRIBED REQUIP FOR RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME IN AUGUST OF 2006 AND IMMEDIATELY I A 62 YEAR OLD HOUSE WIFE AND CARE GIVER COULD NOT CONTROL THE URGE TO GAMBLE SOMETHING I HAD NEVER DONE BEFORE. I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS CONNECTED TO REQUIP. I STARTED USING MORTGAGE MONEY AND ANY OTHER I COULD GET. WE ARE NOT ABOUT TO LOSE OUR HOME, WHICH IS ALL WE HAVE AND I AM THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DEBT TO PAYDAY LOAND I HAVE 13 OF THEM AT 500 EACH FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS. NOW. ONCE YOU GET INTO THE LOANS YOU NEVER HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET OUT OF THEM.
EVEN THOUGH I STOPPED TAKING REQUIP RIGHT AFTER I HEARD ON THE PAUL HARVEY RADIO SHOW IN DEC. OF 2006 THAT MAYO CLINIC HAD DONE RESEARCH ON REQUIP AND FOUND IT DID INDEED CAUSE SOME PEOLE TO NOT BE ABLE TO CONTROL AN URGE TO GAMBLE ALSO IN FEB. OF 2007 I HAD TO HAVE 22 BREAST TUMORS REMOVED I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE REQUIP. ALL THESE SIDE AFFECTS ARE CLEARLY LISTED IN THE HUGE BOOKLET GLAXOSMITHKLINE SENT ME. THEY STILL REFUSE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY SITUATION WHICH IS VERY DIER.
SIR CHRIS GENT JUST SHRUGGED ME OFF LIKE I WAS SOME KIND OF WASTE PRODUCT HE DARE NOT DEAL WITH.
THIS IS A BAD COMPANY I FEEL ALMOST ALL OF THEIR DRUGS CAUSE SOME VERY DANGEROUS SIDE EFFECTS.
I HAVE TRIED LAWYERS EVERYONE IS AFRAID OF THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SO BIG. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD CALL THESE PEOPLE TO TASK.

All I need to say is that I was very healthy and never had any health problems, except maybe seasonal allergies. Once put on SSRI’s I never thought that is would have damaged me the way it did, everything that I have I contribute to Paxil, that medication was given to me after Prozac; now looking back to why my life turned out the way it did, I can recall some shocking events.
I never drank alcohol before, hate the taste and what it did, all of sudden once put on Paxil I could not stop my thirst for alcohol, after weaning off for 3.5 years I realized now being off for 31 days that I hate alcohol and can’t even stand the smell.
I made some horrible decisions in my life and took lots of risks, like I was invincible, nothing could touch me. I got into lots of trouble, it even cost me my relationship, the person always asked why I was a radical person and why I made the horrible decisions, and I could not reply; now it hit me, it was the spell of Paxil and I wanted to get off of it but could not, I would get so sick.
While weaning of of Paxil I did not know what the withdrawal effects were and boy did I get it wrong, it got so bad I had to go to the hospital and they diagnosed me with Vertigo, and no one dare to ask about my medicine.
I have been Paxil free for 31 day, and they have been hell, I am a zombie, I can’t think straight, remember, insomnia, acne… speaking of acne, I never had acne as a teenager and once put on Paxil I started having severe cystic acne lots of hormonal problems, my breast lactate and my hot flashes, and I am still in my 20′s can someone tell me about that. I could keep going on and on, but I guess you get the point.
I wish they would band these drugs, they are just a temporary solution and not even, once off the medication the problems are even worst and one might have severe irreversable damage from Paxil. All the evidence is out there, Paxil is not better than a sugar pill, and if one is depressed there are other alternative, take care of it now, and you won’t have to pay double in the future.
P.S. looking for anyone to share their stories with me, and let me know that I am not alone.
