Quote from the Related Link: "A very small percentage of patients given Paxil in trials developed seizures." If your child has had a seizure, you need to call the child's doctor immediately and let them know. DO NOT suddenly take your child off of Paxil without a doctor's instructions. Your child's doctor may want to taper the dosage your child takes, meaning reduce it gradually, then take the child off of Paxil completely. Suddently stopping it without a doctor's advice to do so can result in serious withdrawal symptoms. See the Related Link entitled "Quitpaxil: paxil withdrawal symptons" for a list of the withdrawal symptoms.

How can you die of a seizure?
Mortality rates are considerably higher in people with epilepsy than would be expected in a healthy population. The causes of death include seizures which evolve into status epilepticus, a continuous state of seizure that can be fatal; Seizures can induce a semi-conscious state, making a person vulnerable in daily routines such as taking baths or walking down stairs; Suicide is another risk factor. People with epilepsy who suffer from depression are five times more likely to commit suicide than the overall population. A mystery in epilepsy deaths called sudden unexplained death (SUDEP), which is often listed as an official cause of death, accounts for 7-17% of deaths among the general population with epilepsy, twenty-five times higher than normal in the case of Temporal lobe epilepsy and perhaps fifty percent higher among patients with refractory epilepsy. The seriousness of this disorder which affects 50 million people world wide does not get the attention it deserves. This potentially deadly disorder affects more people than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and Parkinson's disease combined. Epilepsy is on the rise because of the aging population. People over the age of 65 have a significant increased risk of developing epilepsy. Epilepsy is twice as common as Autism and more people die from epilepsy related causes each year than from AIDS.
