How clinical trial data from the pharmaceutical drug trials are often manipulated to hide adverse effects including akathisia, meaning that the incidence is under-reported and the condition under-recognised by patients and doctors.How the term akathisia was coined in 1901 by a Czech neuropsychiatrist.That tragically within six days of starting Paxil, he unexpectedly and uncharacteristically ended his life.How he went to his doctor complaining of some work-related anxiety and was prescribed the generic version of Paxil (paroxetine).That Stewart was a loved husband and father and respected partner in the law firm Reed Smith.How Wendy founded MISSD in 2011, one year after losing her husband, Stewart Dolin, to medication-induced suicide.That, by background, Wendy is a licensed clinical social worker and family therapist practising in Illinois.MISSD aims to ensure that people suffering from akathisia’s symptoms are accurately diagnosed so that needless deaths are prevented.
As a train approached, Stewart ended his life.įounded in 2011, MISSD is a unique non-profit organization dedicated to honoring the memory of Stewart and others by raising awareness and educating the public about the dangers of akathisia. A registered nurse who was also on the platform later reported seeing Stewart pacing back and forth and looking very agitated. On July 15, 2010, just six days after beginning the medication, following a regular lunch with a business associate, Stewart left his office and walked to a nearby train station, despite not being a regular commuter. He felt restless and had trouble sleeping. Within days, Stewart’s anxiety became worse. In 2010, Wendy’s husband Stewart Dolin was prescribed Paxil (paroxetine), a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (“SSRI”) for mild situational anxiety. MISSD stands for Medication-Induced Suicide Prevention and Education Foundation in Memory of Stewart Dolin. This week on MIA Radio, we interview Wendy Dolin founder of the MISSD foundation.
