Bob Fiddaman, authors book "The Evidence, However, Is Clear.." : The Seroxat, Paxil, GSK Scandal

Bob Fiddaman, author of the blog Seroxat Sufferers, Stand UP and Be counted has been a one man wrecking crew, tirelessly writing and researching to inform the public about the scandal behind the GSK anti depressant, Paxil. (Seroxat in the UK where Bob resides).

Fiddaman has gone to great effort to expose the Paxil scandals, and the truth behind the drug. The book is a result from a great loss and suffering in Fid's life, as a result of taking the drug, his personal life was shattered.

In essence, I believe that this book is a testimony to never giving up, to keep on forging ahead, and a reminder to us all that one voice can and does make a difference.

Fiddaman's book is available for DOWNLOAD here, and will soon be available for purchase in paperback as well..


FROM the publisher's book description page:

"An estimated 2.3 million people suffer with depression in the UK. World-wide that figure is estimated at 340 million.

Pharmaceutical companies claim to have the cure that can lift your depression. The Medicines regulators, the body that regulate the drugs manufactured by pharmaceutical companies, main aim is to protect the public from unsafe drugs.

In 'The Evidence, However, Is Clear' patient campaigner, Bob Fiddaman, highlights that all is not what it seems with the UK regulatory system. He believes that not only the public are being kept from the truth with regard to antidepressant drugs but doctor's are too."

An excerpt from the book:

"On Friday the 7th of April, 2006, I began what I thought at the time to be a mini protest against the Medicines Healthcare products and Regulatory Agency [MHRA] and the second largest pharmaceutical company in the world, GlaxoSmithKline [GSK]. The world of blogging [1] was new to me but it seemed a good outlet to get ones voice heard and a short way to cut through the red tape that exists at government level here in the UK. I wasn't happy with the way an antidepressant called Seroxat, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, was being widely prescribed and its serious adverse side-effects were being largely ignored by both the medical profession and the UK Medicine regulator, the MHRA."

Bob has met with the MHRA in a gutsy attempt to have them hear a patient/advocate/campaigner voice with regard to the dangers and suffering of withdrawals while stopping the use of Paxil/Seroxat, he was threatened by GSK at one time to shut down his blog, and remove a video about GSK, of which I and several other bloggers around the world supported Bob, and hosted the video on our blogs in protest against bullying.

His personal determination, and steadfastness continues to be an inspiration to myself and many other people.

Take the time to read the informative book, and stop by his blog, where there is a wealth of information, via internal documents and more, you won't regret it. Anyone even thinking about taking Paxil, should then think twice.


Good luck and thank you for the hard work, Fid.
