Dear Pam,
When they say "harm" they mean the side effects" of Paxil.
A placebo has no side effects, I suppose.
Randomized drug trials showed that Verapamil did not work for bipolar.
And yet, my doc (with a dash of genius, luck, or faith) prescribed my Verapamil after ALL other mood stabilzers failed.
My feeling on this -- and I am not a scientist -- is that drugs can work for individuals even though they fail a study. -- just like drugs that pass a study don't work for every body.
The problem is that the drug companies are supposed to to honest the results that they report. HA!
