So you’re having one of those days relaxing at home watching TV.
Then a commercial comes on talking about this great medication that can help with depression, sever pain, etc.
Then to follow with a big list if things that CAN happen to you while taking it.
Kinda ironic how they say it’s so great but it can possibly cause several problems. —Is it Really Worth the Risk?
This article appears in Oct 27 – Nov 2, 2011.
Smoke a joint. It’ll cure what ails ya and make those crappy commercials highlarious.
Due to litigation they have to mention every possible side effect even if it affects .0000001% of the population.
I hear sever pain is quite severe!
WAYYY WORSER..cialis and viagra ads..who the hell wants to even think bout peeps in that age group having sex..:)
Obvious that you’ve never been depressed OB.
Like Tim mentioned, it’s about liability.
I took methotrexate for several years, believe me, the benefits were much greater than the side-effects.
cookerguy – I’m in that age group. It’s Ok though, I don’t want you, thinking about me, having sex.
It is all about making money Pharmacutical companies DON’t CARE ABOUT YOU OR YOUR HEALTH. Only the money that can be make off your illness. One medication will trigger another symptom or illness that again will require a perscription. The perscription will work but a few more months down the road you have other ailments you never had before….back to the doctor to get yet another perscription. It is a domino effect.
I was on depression medication as well (Celexa) and my doctor never advised me to exercise to release endorphines, streaching, change my diet (cut out aspertain, fast foods, artificial colors and flavors. all the additives in our food.) Try St. John’s Wort it is all natiral and helps treat restlessness, nervousness, anxiety, helps with sleeping etc…)
Why did she not express this to me Cause she wouldn’t make money off of those things. She gets money from me filling a perscription.
Botton line it is NOT worth the risk. Why are they trying to take this medication and why it is that we have so much knowledge on how to treat all these illnesses but not anything to cure them.
Why are people getting sicker no adays then ever before?
HEY ..I’M in that age group..and don’t wanna think about me having sex..or someun like that…:)
“Some anti-obesity drugs have severe or life-threatening side effects.”
Sounds more like a solution to control the number of obese people by putting them six feet under to eat dirt. Thank you pharmaceutical companies.
Ohhh shushhup Beener. You sound like someone who calls in to talk radio all the time.
http://www.funnyhub.com/videos/pages/happy… i looked for the ad for an investment company, they warn that the drug may cause you to grow the head of a labrador retriever
…and beener, that sounds like the polar opposite of my doctor
just like this bitch board o.p., using it can cause you to go nuts, and not using it, can cause you to go nuttier. but their is a light at the end of the tunnel, you can turn your t.v. to the off position, or pass on to another channel.
Depeche Mel kiss my ass! Just because someone doesn’t have the same opinions than you doesn’t make it any less valid.
I don’t have to agree with everyone else to have MY OWN OPINION
The 4 hour erection part of the Viagra ads always crack me up – then I think of all the things you could use it for – like a donut holder or a rolling pin.
which is all good..till someone loses an eye 🙂
rolling pin? Really? note to self: do NOT eat ANY of TTFN’s homebaking!(And I don’t mean because of the ingredients. 😉 lol
You should be glad that you are hearing about all of the side effects. You can thank your government for that, the companies are not doing it willingly! I have studied historical advertising and they’d promise you everything-really outrageous claims…and even with the disclaimers, prescription drug use is way up from 10, 20, 30 years ago.
medications are approved based on the good that it can do if prescribed to many people. even if it helps to significantly improve the situation for the majority of people taking it, there will still be negative side affects and reactions to it.
ttfn, only 4 hours, shit, they should make it last longer than that. just like moi.

Lols.
I remember buying Nirvana’s Nevermind cd 20 years ago. It sticks out in my mind because the Bubonic Plague happened then.
Your opinion=poopoo kaakaa, Dr Dingus.
And the lovely and talented Mel is right: you sound lime some talk radio denizen: lotsa opinion and hot air with facts to back them up.
He has a very old-handian way about him.
Oh shit. You did *not* just mention him. 😛
“There needs to be a f-a-g-loss drug. Crystal meth and AIDS just aren’t doing the job fast enough.
Just remember that fat people can lose weight while f-a-g-s are always going to be bottom feeding cocksuckers that spread disease, filth and stereotypes.”

Illegal hate speech. Ban the user. Delete the post. If you do not then you are as guilty as he.
This one is blatant. Does The Coast think it has a get-out-of-jail-free card for hate speech convictions or what?
