protection by habitual offenders. I was assessed by three (3) independent psychiatrists to eliminate offender's speculations about my insanity
prompting "delusions" etc. All psychiatrists stated clearly, that I am sane /I do NOT have/had any mental illness. No family history of any.
PAXIL
Dear Sirs/Madams,
*Is the Pharmaceutical Industry the -Enemy within?
*BIG PHARMA AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY
*LEGISLATED banditry /terror / torture............:)
*Drugs by definition - are poisons to the body...............:)
*How many millions more have to die from this chemical holocaust before this
reign of medical terror is brought to an end?
*Lawsuits - Only Weapon Available Against Giant Big Pharma Pushers
*When injustice becomes the rule of law...disobedience becomes a duty
Apotex subjected me to disabling and deadly withdrawal effects associated with Paxil and other products Apotex exposed me to.
What a crime it was to drop me off "cold turkey" when I was withdrawn creating additional damage and leading me into an additional serotonin nightmare. Apotex did not allow me to withdraw gradually?
Apotex, who exposes own employees to these extremely addictive drugs with out any protection, with no warning of the addictive properties should be held accountable for the results of that lack of warning and criminal negligence. Withdrawal from these serotonergic antidepressants, according to the World Health Organization, appears to be even worse than the benzodiazaphines - which already have one of the worst reputations for serious withdrawal.
When we know that Ecstasy withdrawal can plunge users into the depths of depression we should not be the least bit surprised to learn that any of its chemical cohorts can do the same in withdrawal. All are serotonergic agents
Paxil, etc. - with similar effects due to the increase of serotonin and decrease of serotonin metabolism that they produce.
When one understands the steroid effect brought on by an increase in serotonin it is not difficult to see that the initiation of use of these
drugs should be very gradual as should the discontinuation be a very gradual process.
People have suffered severe side-effects when they tried to stop taking or being exposed to such drugs.
The Los Angeles law firm Baum, Hedlund, Aristei, Guilford and Schiavo have records of people addictions to such drugs, which are known in the US as Paxil. The side-effects they suffer when they try to stop taking the tablets, include jolting pains in the head, vertigo, loss of coordination, abdominal discomfort, agitation and confusion.
Most people are told by the doctors, that their problems are the symptoms of their depression re-appearing and do not suspect that the drug might be to blame.
Benzodiazapines - including Valium, Librium and Ativan, which were also said not to be addictive when they were launched.
Withdrawal symptoms, including gastrointestinal and somatic complaints, sleep disturbances, movement disorders and psychological symptoms, are reported to occur in up to 30 percent of patients who abruptly discontinue SSRIs. While reports of antidepressant withdrawal syndromes first appeared in the late 1970s with the tricyclic antidepressants, investigators have recently reported withdrawal symptoms upon discontinuation of such drugs, suggesting that withdrawal syndromes may occur with any available antidepressant.
Many people have suffered from severe withdrawal reactions as a result of taking the antidepressant Paxil.
Thousands of Paxil users who have suffered from withdrawal reactions and dependency/withdrawal syndrome.
Each has experienced similar withdrawal reactions and problems such as: jolting electric "zaps," dizziness, light-headedness, vertigo,
in-coordination, gait disturbances, sweating, extreme nausea, vomiting, high fever, abdominal discomfort, flu symptoms, anorexia, diarrhea, agitation, tremulousness, irritability, aggression, sleep disturbance, nightmares, tremor, confusion, memory and concentration difficulties, lethargy, malaise, weakness, fatigue, paraesthesias, ataxia, and/or myalgia.
Paxil was introduced into the U.S. market on December 29, 1992, and is a well known antidepressant medication in the same class as Zoloft and Prozac (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or "SSRI's"). Paxil is approved for marketing in the United States for conditions such as depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, panic disorder, and "social anxiety disorder."
Neither the patients nor the physicians expect these withdrawal reactions because the manufacturer has deliberately failed to warn of their potential occurrence.
Both physician and patient unwittingly commit to Paxil without knowing the drug's addictive traits.
Neither I nor any of the employees were ever informed before starting work with Paxil and other products, that they were addictive, induced dependency, or created withdrawal reactions when dosage was reduced or terminated.
Paxil creates both physical and psychological dependency because Apotex has suppressed the information about the severe withdrawal reactions of its drugs, many employees and their physicians are fooled into thinking that the withdrawal reactions are caused by another condition (such as relapse), thus prompting further incorrect and unnecessary medical treatment, including
increased dosages of Paxil.
Apotex has known for years the distinct characteristics of Paxil which make it prone to cause withdrawal reactions when discontinued. While The medical
community has acknowledged the potential for all SSRI's to cause dependency/withdrawal syndrome, Paxil is, by far, the worst. According to World Health Organization ("WHO") data obtained by the plaintiff class members, Paxil has the highest incidence rate of withdrawal adverse experiences of any antidepressant drug in the world.
"Extreme difficulties caused by this drugs force people to remain on Paxil etc. because they are "hooked" and fear they cannot get off the drug," says attorney Mary Schiavo."
Apotex suppose to be charged with fraud and deceit, negligence, strict liability, breach of warranty and implied warranty etc.
The attorneys have stated, "The scariest part about this is that there are people out there trying to get off this drugs who are experiencing these horrible withdrawal reactions. They think its because of something wrong with them, when it's really the Paxil - - and then they take even more and further exacerbate the problem!"
People from around the WORLD who say they suffered symptoms ranging from electric-like shocks to suicidal thoughts after discontinuing use of the drug.
When I stopped taking/ being exposed to those drugs ... and it destroyed me. It almost killed me,''
Did you know that it has been discovered that Paxil and other drugs in the same class-selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitor (SSRI)-can cause a condition called akathisia (severe inner restlessness) that in turn is associated with suicidal tendencies? Apotex, maker of the popular generic antidepressant drug Paxil, have hidden dangerous facts about this drug.
Studies have shown that Paxil is highly addictive and carries many withdrawal symptoms ranging in severity from mild to extremely dangerous.
* For many years Company melted and boiled chemicals in hundred of pounds at the time in order to challenge existing /valid Patents of Brand Name's by process ( Cyclosporin- Cyclosporine is a potent immunosuppressant used originally to prevent the rejection of transplanted kidneys, continues to be recommended for a variety of organ transplants, brain function controlling drugs (psychiatric), antidepressants and narcotics which I worked with:
PAXIL, Lavitra, Plavix, Bupropion, Gabapentin, Gemfibrosil, Metformin, Omeprazole, Temazepam/Etodolac, Metroprolol , Norvasc, Depakote and other brain function controlling drugs and antidepressants, narcotics blood composition and pressure controlling drugs etc.).
Those processes were conducted in /on not approved equipment and in manufacturing area not approved for such operations.
Also I got massive and unprotected exposure to unidentified product (s ) in / during out of control accident (we did have many accidents) when one of not approved new products proved to be volatile and during process exploded causing inferno, burning/baking for period of time while releasing toxic fumes and causing collateral damage to equipment and infrastructure.
BEYOND ANY DOUBT I WAS EXPOSED TO THE DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES WITH OUT ANY PROTECTION AND THAT THEY CAUSED THE ADVERSE EFFECTS AND INJURIES I NOW SUFFER.
As result of Company's negligence (exposure to advanced structural composite materials /chemicals used in the manufacturing processes which have been classified as to have a co- carcinogenic and/or synergistic ffect -Depakote/ Divalproex Sodium, Diazepam, Clonazepam, Carbamazepine, Phenobarbital, Clozapine, Lorazepam, Phenobarbital, Amoxapine, Bupropion, Clozapine, Lorazepam, Amoxapine, Paroxatine, Fluoxetine, Temazepam, Gabapentin, Depakote,Cyclosporine etc. ) I am suffering skin discoloration,
sinuses and respiratory ailments ( fluid in upper lungs). I am suffering from severe hypertension ( which at the present is out of control - BP 235/135) and due to it as well as chemicals effect my hearth was damaged, migraine headaches, joints and back pains, nervous system effects (state of mental turmoil, compromised motor skills, compromised speech mechanism, memory elapses etc.), vision problems (constant presence of a black spot in eyes which may indicate minor stroke effect/haemorrhage or Depakote's side
effects etc.)my heir turned white under psychiatric drugs, kidnay pain and changes, enhanced risk of cancer, and fear of cancer.
I experience a feeling of general discomfort and sickness; weakness, trouble breathing, unusual drowsiness, dizziness or light-headedness; unusual / unexplained stomach upsets, the sudden development of a slow or irregular heartbeat.
I have serious concerns about the safety of the levels of exposure. My worry is that a toxic build up of the drugs and/or its metabolites can be fatal.
Some of the side effects I experience include infections, nausea, diarrhoea, dry mouth, constipation, decreased appetite, sleepiness, dizziness, sexual side effects, nervousness, tremor, yawning, sweating, abnormal vision, weakness, insomnia, including electric shock sensations, abnormal dreams, agitation, anxiety, nausea, mood fluctuations, headache, fatigue, nervousness and sleep disturbances, skin rash, anorexia, leg pain, medication taste, sore throat, also effects include muscle pain, pain in arms and legs, abdominal cramps, vomiting, joint pain, rash, flu-like symptoms. I am suffering a great deal with life threatening medical conditions not able to afford groceries, needed medications nor to pay any of my financial dues. I am not able to perform any chors around my residence , forced to relay on assistance.
Company got engaged in intentional malicious conduct violating all statutes with a reckless indifference.

"BLACK BOX SUICIDE WARNING" ORDERED BY THE FDA FOR ALL ANTIDEPRESSANTS...
FORGET THE ANTIDEPRESSANT SUICIDE ISSUE
Look at the Physical Side-Effects of Antidepressants Reported by Medical Physicians
*Severe Body & Brain Damaging Side-Effects ofAntidepressants*
The content of this article is based on and written in accordance with accepted as well as disputed theories in Bio-Psychiatry.
The Neurotransmitter "Serotonin" & Serotonin Acting Anti-depressants
Since 1988 the pharmaceutical companies (starting with Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of "Prozac") have advertised to the people (direct to consumer) as well as to their family doctors, that if you suffer from depressive feelings, you must have a "biochemical imbalance" in your brain. The advertising finger was pointed at the neurotransmitter "serotonin", and it is used to explain nearly any emotional problem a person might have nowadays. Many other pharmaceutical companies came out with so many variants on the SSRI-antidepressant to try and capitalize on its popularity, by spreading this theory even further amongst the people. Theory? Yes, only a
theory!
The Truth is that nobody in the medical field really knows if a "biochemical imbalance" is the cause of any mental disorder, and they do not know how even the hypothesized "biochemical imbalances" could produce the emotional, cognitive, and behavioural symptoms that characterize any mental disorder.
Clever marketing tactics exercised on us by the pharmaceutical industry, prevailed above scientifical evidence and research. Greed, dis-respect and contempt of the population, prevailed above altruism, medical care and responsibility. It's the greatest shame of of this era. More information:

Can Psychiatry Be Retrieved From a Biological Approach?
Neuroscientist Elliot S. Valenstein Says No to Drugs Primary care doctors prescribe SSRI-antidepressants to millions of adults,
adolescents and children, certainly not only for treatment of depression anymore. SSRI's are prescribed for school phobias, bed wetting, eating disorders, sleep disturbances (insomnia), nail biting, hair pulling, headache, gambling addiction, alcohol addiction, back pain, stomach upset, premenstrual syndrome, etc., and even to "feel better then well". SSRI's have become all purpose "feel good pills", nowadays, in the year 2000.
Unfortunately many doctors are unaware of the major consequences and some of them don't even seem to care. They argue that the positive effects of SSRI's far outweigh their negative effects. Nothing could be further from the truth.
SSRI's may not be compared with regular medications, like insulin to treat diabetics. SSRI's are psychoactive, blood-brain barrier passing drugs and interact with the serotonergic system in the brain. Another example of drugs interacting with the serotonergic system are LSD and Ecstasy (MDMA). The serotonergic system is responsible for "how we perceive, experience and feel the inside and outside world". YOU and only YOU created the neuropaths of this serotonergic system through the years by learning new things over and
over again. And so it represents YOUR serotonergic system with it's own unique structure, playing a big role in the composition of YOUR mind, YOUR consciousness, YOUR emotions, YOUR thoughts. When these serotonergic brain cells are artificially pushed (by SSRI's) to act beyond their capacity or boundaries, this can result in the most disastrous serious adverse
reactions. People need to be informed about the risks especially when children are involved.
Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitor = Impairing Body Serotonin MetabolismSSRI's are "Selective Serotonin Re-Uptake Inhibitors." Neuronal re-uptake of neurotransmitters is metabolism. What serotonin re-uptake inhibitor actually means is that the SSRI-antidepressant interferes with ones ability to metabolise serotonin, so that will build up. In other words, an SSRI-antidepressant impairs the ability of cells to metabolise serotonin, not only in the brain, but -since serotonin is widely distributed throughout the body- in the body as well! The greatest concentration of serotonin, around 90%, is not found in the brain, but is found in the gastrointestinal or digestive tract (human gut, intestines, bowels).
Originally, the neurotransmitter serotonin -thought to be secreted by the Pineal Gland- is called a neurohormone, because of it's specific regulatory effect on the activity of the Endocrine Glands in the human body. (1),(2)
Affecting serotonin means affecting the Glandular Endocrine System. Next to it, serotonin affects the Cardiovascular System and the Respiratory System, under which, the lungs. Serotonin is also found in blood platelets and
stimulates platelet aggregation (blood clotting). Furthermore, serotonin is
known to affect contraction of smooth muscles (such as those of the gut) and
blood vessel elasticity (vasoconstriction and expansion). More information:
Serotonin & the Pineal Gland
Fraudulent Clinical Trials and the FDA
Many primary care doctors and most people believe, that SSRI's have
undergone independent tests controlled by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) to insure safety. In fact the FDA does not "test" proposed new drugs.
It relies almost exclusively on safety and efficacy data provided by the
drug's sponsor. SSRI studies are constructed, financed, and supervised
entirely by pharmaceutical companies themselves. The testing process is
deeply flawed. The clinical tests of antidepressants (SSRI's) are remarkably
short. Although the FDA's guidelines for large-scale clinical tests
recommend they last at least 6 weeks, in some instances studies as short as
4 weeks are accepted. Typically, the studies last 6 to 8 weeks!
And how about the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)? Already in 1993,
28,623 reports of adverse reactions to "Prozac" -the Eli Lilly SSRI,
approved for the market since 1988- had been received by the FDA. These
included effects such as delirium, hallucinations, convulsions, violent
hostility, aggression, psychosis, 1,885 suicide attempts and 1,734 deaths -
1,089 by suicide. However, this didn't seem to be enough to provoke the FDA
to act against the SSRI manufacturer. As a major consequence from this lack
of action, other pharmaceutical companies were permitted to follow Eli
Lilly's example, resulting in more Prozac copy-cat SSRI's like Paxil,
Zoloft, Celexa, etc., nowadays, and probably more to come in the near
future. How many reports of adverse reactions to these SSRI's must the FDA
receive to pull them from the market? Or has this already gone too far?
Personality Structure and Out of Character Behaviour
We now have legal psychoactive, blood-brain barrier passing drugs, acting on
the serotonergic system (SSRI's), the dopaminergic system (SDRI's) and the
nor-adrenergic system (SNRI's) in the brain. The neurotransmitters dopamine,
epinephrine (adrenalin) and nor-epinephrine (nor-adrenalin) are called
"catecholamines" and control the adrenergic systems in the central nervous
system (CNS). They account for staying awake, mood, fight or flight
response, etc.. Serotonin is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter
modulating the excitatory catecholamine systems in the CNS. Serotonin
neurons control memory, mood, sex drive, etc.. Serotonin, dopamine and
nor-epinephrine (nor-adrenalin) are the key-neurotransmitters involved with
the construction of YOUR personality structure, as stated by doctor C.
Robert Cloninger. Every drug that acts on the serotonergic system will
affect (indirectly) the other neurotransmitter systems (dopaminergic,
nor-adrenergic) in the brain (and visa-versa), thereby affecting YOUR
personality structure, YOUR temperament, YOUR character.
This must be exactly what happened to the antidepressant influenced home,
school- and workplace shooters/killers who have reached the attention of the
media since 1988. It's striking how every time, when involvement of an SSRI
comes to public attention, pharmaceutical companies defend their
serotonergic drugs by telling us over and over again that the fact that a
shooter was taking an SSRI, was purely a coincidence, that the shooter was
treated with an SSRI for "mental illness" and that the SSRI had nothing to
do with his/her violent behaviour, (remember that SSRI's are prescribed for
almost anything, not only for "mental illness"). The pharmaceutical
companies argue that there is no evidence that SSRI's cause suicide or
violence. They refer to the "scientific rigorous battery of independent
clinical trials" that the SSRI's have undergone under the auspices of the
American FDA to insure their efficacy and safety. A recent study tells us a
different story!
However, who needs "clinical trials" when there is so much and hard evidence
of violence related to SSRI's in the media... Isn't it striking how many
home, school- and workplace shooters have reached the attention of the media
since 1988? The first SSRI-antidepressant named "Luvox" was approved for the
market on 25 march 1987 and the SSRI "Prozac" on 29 December 1987! Do you
see the connection already? We now have several SSRI's all acting on the
same serotonergic system in the brain. Did these SSRI's help the shooters to
become more happy? Oh yes, so happy that the natural boundaries of their
personality structure were far exceeded! They lost their emotional
connection with their conscience, they became disconnected, they were pushed
over the edge, THEIR edge!!
Serious Adverse Reactions
After growing reports concerning withdrawal symptoms to
SSRI-antidepressants, pharmaceutical companies renamed these phenomena
"antidepressant discontinuation syndrome", avoiding the negative
connotations of the word "withdrawal". This creates the illusion that one is
familiar with the side-effects from SSRI's, that they are rarely reported
and that their products are safe. Ofcourse they want the people and doctors
to keep on believing that withdrawal only happens to a minority of people
and that the symptoms are mild and short-lived.
In fact the side effects from SSRI-antidepressants are far more serious than
just the addiction to it and withdrawal symptoms. Many individuals who took
an SSRI-antidepressant or tried to get off an SSRI-antidepressant
experienced the most horrible adverse reactions. Many individuals have
suffered for years or are still suffering because they experienced an
extremely negative reaction to one of these drugs!
What happened in the brains of these individuals? Scientists have recently
discovered that Prozac induces muscle contractions in the worm suggesting
that Prozac has other molecular targets in the brain. Researchers from
Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia have found changes in brain cells
in rats treated with SSRI's. The brain cells shrivelled or took on abnormal
corkscrew shapes. What happens to the serotonergic system in the brain? The
same system that's stimulated by administration of LSD (Lysergic Acid
Diethylamide), the system that's involved with our perception. Doctors
reported LSD flashbacks in adolescents -with a history of use of LSD- after
treatment with an SSRI-antidepressant.
We strongly suggest You think again before You decide to take any
anti-depressant. If you are currently taking an SSRI, never stop cold turkey
but slowly taper off. Don't go off medication without medical supervision.
The best way to minimize withdrawal side effects is to wean off the
medication, this process may take up to a year or longer.
SSRI & SSNRI Antidepressants Side-Effects
"Who does Not Know the Truth, is simply a Fool...
Yet who Knows the Truth and Calls it a Lie, is a Criminal."
- In "Galileo Galilei" by Berthold Brecht (1898-1956)
Take notice that also non SSRI antidepressants (and even Ritalin) may
interact (primary or secondary) with the serotonergic (or serotoninergic)
system in the brain. Every medication -especially SSRI antidepressants-
boosting serotonin activity in the brain, has potential to induce the very
dangerous and potentially fatal hyperserotonergic state of the Serotonin
Syndrome.

Tardive Dyskinesia/Dystonia, Parkinsonism & Akathisia
SSRI & SSNRI antidepressants induced side-effects (Iatrogenic Extrapyramidal
Symptoms) are
recognized to be similar to Neuroleptic (anti-psychotic) induced
side-effects. These side-effects are known as Tardive Dyskinesia/Dystonia
(severe body movement disorder, mostly permanent), Parkinsonism (a sign of
future Parkinson's disease) and Akathisia (a Neurological driven severe
mania/agitation that can lead to suicidality, suicide attempts, self-harm &
suicide). It is well documented in the medical literature that these
neuroleptic induced side-effects refer to damage at dopaminergic neurons in
the "motor system" of the
"Basal Ganglia", a structure deep in the "Limbic System" of the brain. 1, 2,

Serotonin Syndrome
The Serotonin Syndrome is a potentially lethal condition caused by excessive
serotonergic activity. It is a very dangerous and a potentially fatal side
effect of the serotonergic enhancing drugs such as SSRI & SSNRI
antidepressants and is diagnosed by the presence of at least 3 of 10
symptoms: mental status changes (confusion, hypomania), agitation,
myoclonus, hyperreflexia, diaphoresis, shivering, tremor, diarrhea,
incoordination, and fever. This "hyperserotonergic" toxic condition requires
heightened clinical awareness in order to prevent, recognize, and treat the
condition promptly. Promptness is vital because, as we just mentioned, the
serotonin syndrome can be fatal and death from this side effect can come
very rapidly. The Serotonin syndrome is brought on by excessive levels of
serotonin and is difficult to distinguish from the "Neuroleptic Malignant
Syndrome" because the symptoms are so similar. The "Neuroleptic Malignant
Syndrome" is a serious condition brought on by the use of neuroleptic drugs
(anti-psychotics).

Antidepressant induced neurological and/or physical toxicity (body and/or
brain damage) either as a result of prolonged inhibition of P450-2D6
liver-enzymes, or as a result of impairing serotonin metabolism, can take on
many forms as described below. A few examples are: Hyperserotonemia, such
as the lifethreatening condition the Serotonin Syndrome, Epileptiform
Discharges, Epileptic Seizures and/or Epilepsy, Hypoglycaemia/Hyperglycemia
(Low/Elevated Blood Sugar Imbalance), Stroke/Hemorrhagic Syndromes, Frontal
Lobe Syndrome, Tardive Dyskinesia/Dystonia, Parkinsonism, Akathisia, Mania,
etc...
Addiction & Withdrawal Side-Effects
Withdrawal side-effects/reactions from (SSRI) Anti-depressants which may be
seen within 8-hours, often includes a spontaneously experience of a
"flu-like" syndrome, feeling "crummy", tired, achy, etc..
In addition to the flu-like symptoms: anxiety, dizziness, fatigue, headache,
migraine-like feelings, nerves jangling when moving eyes, continuous
indigestion, neck and back pain, psychotic features such as visual and/or
audial hallucinations/illusions, insomnia, nausea, restlessness, "electrical
shock" like phenomena/electrical surges or shocks through the head and/or
body, hyper-sensitivity of the nervous system to light, sound, colours &
stressors, tremors, tinnitus and a vertiginous-like experience, depressive
thoughts, suicidal thoughts, homicidal thoughts, extreme anger, severe
agitation, extreme irritability, "over-reacting", ringing in ears and
throbbing in head, vomiting, paranoia, aggressive behaviour, rollercoaster
emotions rapidly following up on eachother, out of character behaviour,
severe malaise, general dysphoria, derealization, panic attacks.

Paxil fatigue: Fatigue is a highly subjective multidimensional experience.
Individuals may perceive fatigue as physical tiredness or exhaustion, a need
for reduced activity, reduced motivation, and/or mental fatigue. Much of
what is known about fatigue focuses on physical fatigue as it relates to
exercise (i.e., muscle response). From this perspective, fatigue is defined
physiologically as the inability to maintain power output, and is perceived
as a sensation of weakness-even when the muscle is not being used-and/or a
sense of greater effort required to accomplish a task. Additionally, fatigue
includes psychological dimensions such as mental fatigue and reduced
motivation. Mental fatigue can be expressed as a reduced capacity for
attention, concentration, and learning, as well as a disturbance in
short-term memory.
The basic mechanisms of fatigue have been broadly categorized into two main
components: peripheral and central. Peripheral fatigue, which occurs in the
neuromuscular junctions and muscle tissues, results in the inability of the
peripheral neuromuscular apparatus to perform a task in response to central
stimulation. Mechanisms implicated in peripheral fatigue include a lack of
ATP and the buildup of metabolic by-products. Central fatigue, which
develops in the central nervous system (CNS), arises from the progressive
failure to transmit motor neuron impulses. Central fatigue has been defined
as difficulty in the initiation or maintenance of voluntary activities.
Central fatigue thus manifests as "a failure to complete physical and mental
tasks that require self-motivation and internal cues, in the absence of
demonstrable cognitive failure or motor weakness".
The sensation of fatigue may arise from peripheral signals mediated by
afferent nerves in the muscles or closely related structures (e.g., tendons
and joints) and/or by activation of central pathways in the cerebral cortex.
Conversely, an individual's perception of effort appears to be linked more
to the effort required to generate force than to the magnitude of the force
exerted. The perception of effort may involve a central mechanism of
signaling from the motor cortex to the primary somatosensory cortex.
However, the relationship between the sensations of effort and fatigue has
not yet been elucidated.
