Thank you very much for your thoughts about this. I have now read your three posts from alt.support.depression.medication too. I used to read that newsgroups about ten years ago, but last time I checked, it was dead.
I have found a meta analysis in fulltext in Canadian Medical Association Journal:
http://www.cmaj.ca/content/178/3/296.long
Excerpt from article:
Effectiveness of paroxetine in the treatment of acute major depression in adults: a systematic re-examination of published and unpublished data from randomized trialsCorrado Barbui MD,
Toshiaki A. Furukawa MD,
Andrea Cipriani MD[...]
Interpretation: Among adults with moderate to severe major depression in the clinical trials we reviewed, paroxetine was not superior to placebo in terms of overall treatment effectiveness and acceptability. These results were not biased by selective inclusion of published studies.
