Blogger On Paxil’s Dangers Draws Weird Attention
Of the many bloggers on mental health issues, no one has attracted more weird attention than has Bob Fiddaman, the author of Sexorat (Paxil) Sufferers. He’s had people impersonate him on forums and blogs and basically defame him, all because Fiddy has pushed so hard on exposing the dangers of Paxil (Seroxat in the UK) and the chicanery of GlaxoSmithKline in promoting its nasty anti-depressant.
Now, people are filing public records requests with the British FDA, the MHRA, seeking to find out what Fiddy’s been up to in talks he’s had with the agency to, among other things, convince it to take patients seriously.
Here’s how Fiddy explains the requests:
“[R]equests under the Freedom of Information and other correspondence made to the MHRA by a couple [could be more] of stalkers who seem to take great delight in wasting the MHRA’s time and seem to have a very unhealthy interest in me.”
Sounds nice and messy. He’s got copies of the FOI requests posted on his blog. It’s not entirely clear to me who’s behind these requests and other attacks on Fiddy.
