More details from petition creator
It appears, based on Glaxo SmithKline's own internal trials and communications that this drug does not work any better than the placebo is was trialled against, and that it has massively dangerous side effects.
That it was licensed in the first place is something of a mystery. That it continues to be so, given the significant body of opinion opposing the Chemical Imbalance theory, and findings of liability on GSK's part in the courts, is a cause for alarm and suspicion.
