Prescription For Suicide?
British authorities say some antidepressants can be deadly for kids. Now the FDA is investigating
Time - MICHAEL D. LEMONICK

02/06/04 - Kara Jaye-Anne Otter, 12, had been on the antidepressant Paxil for seven months when she committed suicide. "I was told the worst side effects would be flulike symptoms," recalls her mother, Shannon Baker. "But after three weeks she had begun to cop an attitude. Her grades started falling. Then she didn't care what she looked like, and she was fighting with everybody." Baker says her daughter developed rashes and dark circles under her eyes and had trouble sleeping. Then, on June 7, 2001, Kara pinned a note to her chest reading, "By the time you find me I'll be dead. I love you with all my heart. Don't worry, Jesus is with me." She hooked a bungee cord onto a plate hanger on the wall, wrapped the cord around her neck and pulled against it until she passed out. Within minutes she was dead.

Paxil Memo Raises Questions
Firm worried trial data disclosure would hurt antidepressant sales
The Star-Ledger - ED SILVERMAN

02/18/04 - The maker of a popular antidepressant, which British authorities banned last year for use in children, knew the drug wasn't effective but didn't publish studies because sales could be hurt, according to an internal memo.

The 1998 GlaxoSmithkline document noted two clinical trials showed Paxil was no better than a dummy pill in treating depression. But it would be "commercially unacceptable" to disclose the findings, according to the memo which was circulated by a consumer group.
