What is left out is that there are serious withdrawal complications with some of the SSRI's which have also resulted in deaths and suicides when one attempts to go off the drug. They are marketed as "non-addictive" but there is a withdrawal for lots of folks. Paxil is now being sued for not labeling the drug as having withdrawal issues.
