Would A Lawsuit Against Eli Lilly & Co Be Possible?

Card image cap

Location: Utah I currently am living with a condition called PSSD. Post SSRI Sexual Dysfunction. I volunteer for an organization that funds research into treatments of the condition. I was wondering if it would be possible to create a lawsuit against Eli Lilly based on the fact that before 2011 there was no warning that this drug could cause long term sexual dysfunction even after the drug was stopped. Even the label change downplays the reality of this condition that caused long term genital numbness, emotional blunting, loss of orgasm pleasure. This condition can be caused by a wide variety of SSRI and SNRI antidepressants however the most common would have to be Prozac as it might have the most people with this injury. Countries around the globe have added warnings about the possibility of long term sexual dysfunction after stopping antidepressants. The FDA still hasn't changed anything on the labels or warned the public about this condition. The only antidepressant in the United States with any form of a warning is Prozac. I was thinking if we can get a court to agree for this to proceed we might have a chance of finding more information during discovery. Here is the warning added to Prozacs label in 2011 they sent a letter to the FDA based on clinical trial evidence. "Under ADVERSE REACTIONS
