Drug suicide risk fears renewed (Seroxat / Paxil)

Further concerns have been raised about potential suicidal side effects of a commonly used antidepressant.

The drug Seroxat (paroxetine) is already banned from use by adolescents because of an increased risk of suicidal thoughts.*

GlaxoSmithKline, which makes the drug, said it had helped millions.
