Many medicines side effects are ignored by physicians,But this medicine

and should be collected.Those who had bitter experiances can send e-mails

HOW PAXIL KILLED OUR SON

 

By SUSAN EDELMAN

 

September 19, 2004 -- JAKE Steinberg had bitten his nails since

childhood, but when a doctor noticed the California college student's

antsy habit, he prescribed a medication to stop it: Paxil. " It was a

terrible mistake, " his father, Robert Steinberg, told The Post.

 

Just over a month later, Jake, 20, a talented glee-club singer, music

composer and student newspaper editor, began acting bizarrely on his

summer internship at the prestigious William Morris Agency in Manhattan.

 

On July 23, 2003, Jake smashed a chair through a window on the 24th

floor of 1325 Sixth Ave. and jumped to his death.

 

The shocking suicide was a mystery. The outgoing, ever-smiling redhead

was the last person his friends and family thought would kill himself.

 

" It was so out of character, " his dad said. " He was in love with life.

He couldn't wait for the next day to make his next plan. "

 

But his parents now contend that Paxil - prescribed for depression and

anxiety to millions of children and teens as well as adults - cauused

the psychotic behavior that led to his senseless suicide.

 

" We feel very strongly that Paxil caused his death, " Steinberg said.
