Re: The Paxil Protest

Re: The Paxil Protest

Such an incredible effort! A brilliant layout and design with comprehensive information linked strategically througout. All I can say is WOW! And then there is the supreme effort of organizing the actual protest. For the thousands who have suffered and myself, empowerment is at hand. Nobody can refute the evidence provided on this site. It is, indeed, a fully stocked arsenal. Thank you once again, Rob, from the bottom of my fluttering heart.

Re: The Paxil Protest

I'm going to read it once I've completely calmed down. Still riding out waves of anxiety so I can't be 'in a state' when I read all the info that site has.....might get my anxiety going again. Can't wait to read it!

Re: The Paxil Protest

It is over whelming isn't it? I have been reading, reading, reading. The amount of work Rob has put into this is outstanding! I cannot tell you how good this feels, I have contacted a couple of groups here in TO asking for them to help the cause since they we are so far behind the US, perhaps some good donations will be coming his way.

It also may be on our news tonight Rob, you are amazing!

Re: The Paxil Protest

Rob, I am in the process of trying to get this covered on our news here, I think it just might happen!

Also, if everyone from here goes to at least 10 message boards or classifed news section of health and post this Robs web address the news will spread much faster. I will dedicate the rest of my day to this.

Re: The Paxil Protest

I am in AWE! Thank you so much, Rob! You have made my life so much easier for what is beginning here this week! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Donation sent, reservations in the process. And dang it, Wyndham is already booked. Would you happen to know which of the alternative hotels are the next closest? (I'm sorry. Once again, too lazy to look it all up myself.)
