Tsk Tsk. How many of you took Paxil and Wellbutrin for ailments they were not approved for? MisBranding. The largest fraud settlement in the history of the US.
I bet it will barely touch their bottom line. Just out of curiousity, how many of you have stories of trying to withdraw from either or both? Good times, I hear. That is what these companies should be sued for....jmvho.

Specifically, the government alleged that the drugs were marketed as a treatment for conditions for which they had not been approved. It said Paxil, which treats depressive and anxiety disorders in adults, was marketed to children and adolescents, and Wellbutrin, an antidepressant, was marketed as a weight-loss aid.
