The biggest victims of Paxil are actually small. They’re babies. And they don’t even take the defective drug. Rather, a fetus can be injured by the antidepressant when a woman takes Paxil while pregnant, and even newborns can suffer injury if a breastfeeding mother is on the drug.
What kind of Paxil birth defects and injuries impact infants? Some of the worst are heart and lung damages necessitating surgeries. Such heart injuries or lung injuries may require tube feeding, respiratory support and prolonged stays in the hospital.
Also among Paxil birth defects and Paxil related complications are seizures, vomiting, apnea (sleep disorder), respiratory distress, cyanosis, temperature instability, feeding difficulty, tremor, hypoglycemia, hypotonia, hypertonia, hyperreflexia, constant crying and irritability.
Heart damage is most likely to occur in the fetus when the pregnant woman takes Paxil early in her pregnancy, as in the first trimester or first three months. But Paxil injury can occur at any time, including after a baby’s birth when the mother nurses the child while taking the defective antidepressant drug.
The dilemma for women is that as many as 25 per cent of pregnant women suffer depression during pregnancy, and some depression treatment unavoidably may be needed during pregnancy. But there are other means of treating the medical condition known as depression besides taking defective drug Paxil, which can do more harm than good.
