evil TV commercials: CYMBALTA LYRICA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duloxetine
Dont worry, its not you, until it is you. But if you get real info first you
might NOT end up like some we've seen recently.
CYMBALTA
Serious adverse effects
* The French journal Prescrire International published this opinion: "In
practice, duloxetine currently has no place in the treatment of depression or
diabetic neuropathy. Its efficacy has not yet been demonstrated to be even
equivalent to that of other available drugs, and it has too many adverse
effects, given this degree of uncertainty."[10]
* The Los Angeles County Department of Coroner released a report of the
first post mortem studies of duloxetine; they identified twelve cases in which
duloxetine was the ultimate cause of death. Five cases were declared multiple
drug intoxication, and two were declared suicide.[11]
* A case of hyponatremia induced by duloxetine was reported by doctors at
Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.[12]
* A case of dyskinesia during treatment with duloxetine was reported in
Germany.[13]
* Two episodes of serotonin syndrome have been documented in the use of
duloxetine in conjunction with other medications.[14]
* A case of fulminant hepatic failure involving duloxetine which resulted in
death was reported by the Department of Internal Medicine, Ohio State
University, Columbus, Ohio.[15]
* An acute attack of porphyria in a patient taking duloxetine.[16]

What, you mean you're not interested in Duloxetine? How can you not be
interested in Duloxetine? Isn't everyone interested and talking about
Duloxetine? What the hell is Duloxetine anyway?
And what the heck has this got to do with TV commercials evil or otherwise?

Well, it occurred to me that Warp loves telling Andy that, and these
posts are - if anything - even more fit for that....

"Duloxetine is a SNRI (selective serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake
inhibitor)." ..."a drug which is indicated for major depressive disorder"
Has it not occurred to you that AQ might actually be warning you, so you
won't take a harmful drug in the future? You aren't judging a man by his
style of information dispensation, are you?
SSRI/SNRIs are *not* the wonder drugs the pharmaceuticals would have you
think they are. I've experienced SSRI-induced psychosis myself, although
I'll admit I was wrongly diagnosed at the time. Simple precaution could
have saved me a lot of trouble, a vehicle, a driver's license, and six
months.
Here's something I picked up from Googling. I'm sure there are plenty
more like it:

Obviously the TV commercials are giving people the idea that they can
take SSRI/SNRIs for nearly any problem causing anxiety or depression. If
the 8% figure given by that article I linked to has any truth to it,
society could be heading for disaster at any given moment, should a
trigger occur...

In the US you need to get doctors to approve almost everything. I'm not
sure I could call this the sole fault of the phama companies.

Oh no, I'm not laying the entire blame on the pharmaceutical companies.
Doctors aren't given enough caution before administering these
chemicals, and people come in their offices asking for them specifically.

Well, personally, I've had a problem with the pharma companies
advertising "ask your doctor of Vaxodrine is right for you" - the
doctor's the professional, let THEM make that determination. Then again,
the doctors frequently go on junkets on the pharma companies (something
that in my business would be an ethics violation, but apparently it's OK
in the medical field) and push drugs that aren't really needed or
appropriate. Well, *some* do, not all. Obviously there are some
responsible doctors out there.
