Pharmaceuticals

Have you ever noticed that almost every commercial for any medicine always has a kajillion side effects that "may" occur? I'm not familiar with this T.V. thing, but I have noticed that.

What's pathetic is that the really good medicines are super expensive and usually work HALF the time. Truth is, your only paying for the name brand. If you should take anti-depressants, for example, it'll tell you that it may cause: dizziness, nauseousness, drowsiness...and so forth. Why would you want to do that? Sure you won't be depressed, you'll just feel light-headed and have diarrhea. How nice, huh?

They also tell you that "you shouldn't take this medicine if you are blah, blah, blah.." or "it's not for everyone". Why advertise it then? Seems like if your pregnant, nursing, may become pregnant, have a history of high blood pressure, diabetic or something else...you're up chocolate creek w/out a Popsicle stick. Perhaps that's why the wise look to prayer, or faith for relief.

Remember that taking medicines are completely up to you, but at least you know the risks. If your fortunate enough to have insurance, or insurance covers the meds you need...then you're good. They're just ridiculously expensive, work so/so, make you feel crummy & have the most fake, retarded adds I have ever seen.

If I ever started a pharmaceutical of my own the slogan would say something like: "try this-it has a 50/50% chance it will work, it guarantees you'll feel miserable, it's completely out of your budget BUT it comes in flavors!!! oooh!!! How nice huh? Anyway, have a nice day.
