He was apparently suffering from akathisia caused by the so-called antidepressant drug paroxetine. The brand name for paroxetine is Paxil, but Stewart was given a generic version manufactured by Mylan. Stewart’s widow, Wendy, sued GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), the manufacturer of Paxil, and Mylan, on the grounds that the paroxetine caused Stewart to commit suicide. The case came to trial on March 14th and ended on April 20th with a $3 million verdict for Wendy and their children. More at above link...
