A mother's tragic loss: Shane Clancy's story

This is an audio podcast interview which is a new addition to Bob Fiddaman's blog.

Fiddaman, a Paxil/Seroxat withdrawal survivor and mental health activist, is also the author of the book The Evidence, However, Is ClearThe Seroxat Scandal.

For my deaf readers, if a transcript becomes available I will post or link to it. Shane's mother has a blog where she writes this about her son:

"My name is Leonie and my son’s name was Shane Clancy. He Killed himself and another young man on Aug 16th 2009. He was on cipramil (celexa) for three weeks. He never had a violent bone in his body.I know without a shadow of doubt that the drug caused Shane to behave like this. The jury at Shane’s inquest returned an open verdict..(rejecting a suicide verdict). Professor David Healy who was the expert witness at the inquest clearly stated that this can happen to a small minority of people who can have a bad reaction to these anti-depressants. This becomes a major problem when there are millions of people across the globe being treated with these drugs! After the inquest Lundbeck (the makers of cipramil) stated on RTE news that their drug could not have caused this and there was no evidence to support our claim. The Irish college of psychiatry came out to defend Lundbeck and dismiss what we were saying. The Irish Medicines Board say that the patient information Leaflet give sufficient warning and we dont need a black box warning here like they have in canada and the usa."
