MISSING INFORMATION

I started Paxil January 2007, the DR. stated nothing other than sexual disfunctions for possible side effects. Shortly afterwards I developed horrible side effects.  I notified my Dr. was told is was not due to the Paxil, Notified Dr. again a couple weeks later only to find that Dr. is no longer with the clinic, (July 07).  I stopped taking the Paxil in August 2007, went through severe withdraw symptoms including compulsion, mood swings, depression,tremors.  My complaint is that I was not informed about as to the side effects both while taking paxil as well as stopping the paxil. I have also developed several stomach ulcers (recent colonscopy confrimed), rectal bleeding, all with in the past year of use of Paxil. I estimate personal damages due to Paxil use in the thousands (credit cards, bank overdrafts, medical bills) due to the complusive side effects,
WHY IS IMPORTANT INFO LEFT OUT ?
THANKS

You should have had warning about both side effects and withdrawals...the info also should have come with the prescription from your pharmacy, as well as the      insert  package.
