And how many pills are in your current life affirming cocktail good sir? How long have you been on them? How many times have you swapped out one because you saw a new one pop on your tv and it would solve all your problems with only a "slight" chance of stroke or death?
You claim I'm ignorant of the process and that it's very complex but offer nothing to back your claims. If I couldn't walk into the docs office tomorrow and tell him about some new drug I saw on TV and have them prescribe it, big pharma wouldn't bother advertising this junk to the general populace. It's capitalism at its finest.
A good doctor will try and set your expectations, tell you there's risks and talk you out of gulping down the latest cure to market. Do I think that's the majority of them out there? Maybe 20 years ago. Not anymore. I bet if I walked into a psychiatrist' s office tomorrow, told them I'm stressed at work and feeling overwhelmed I'd walk out with a prescription for something. News flash "Work is stressful and at times can be overwhelming!" Soon we'll all be well medicated obedient zombies though.
Tell that to the poor psychotic kid with titties. I'll see your clinical drug trials and raise you the list of side effects associated with this drug.

Read all that. Then get to the bottom 2 days later where it talks about "Post marketing experience". Meaning things people suffered from that they didn't figure out before selling it and prescribing it.
No thank you. I'd rather be psychotic.
Maybe I already am? Ha ha ho ho hee hee
Yeah, I love these fucking medicine commercials. Side effects may include: Nausea, vomiting, headaches, heartburn, hair loss, diarrhea, dry mouth, water retention, painful rectal itch, hallucination, dementia, psychosis, coma, death, halitosis, lung cancer, mental retardation, brain tumors, paralyzation, sleep loss, internal bleeding, internal combustion, a sudden craving to sniff your carpet, an addiction to cocaine, heroin, PCP, speed and Windex, bone weakening, claustrophobia, acne, playing Call Of Duty Black Ops, regular PMS, making Jesus cry, the inability to use proper English in an online environment, homosexuality, AIDS, an urge to stab your spouse, inability to breathe oxygen, urge to watch the Chinese version of Friends, migraines, diabetes, deafness, and of course, the inability to speak properly.
And then you have the crooked cock sucking attorneys say, "did you take Assinlargemedapham? If so give us a call and we will get you some ma tha fucking money!
"May cause sudden liver failure which may result in sudden death"
They're annoying, but they need a job, and they play the game within the system, so blame the system."Please call us if you have experienced this"
I hate lawyers.
Stop taking this crap! Side effect is you grow breasts and you're a man? What the frig is the FDA doing these days? Cripes!
Would love to see some independent placebo test results with sugar pills vs these purported wonder drugs.
Tell that to the poor psychotic kid with titties. I'll see your clinical drug trials and raise you the list of side effects associated with this drug.
That used to be the case, but our understanding of all three of the disorders you mentioned has VASTLY improved since the 90's when it was seemingly diagnosed by default.
Diagnosis is quite a bit more accurate these days. You might think it's out of control, but the reality of it is that you're simply seeing it in the news more often.
Not everyone has this "responsibility" bullshit problem that you think everyone has. Drugs work for most people. That's why they're still prescribed. That's the profound fact that most people who share your opinion seem to forget.
If you're developing that side effect, the obvious choice is to stop taking the medication immediately and the symptoms will go away, right?
No, because his parents probably appreciate him being able to sit through class without smacking another kid with a ruler and throwing a temper tantrum.
Where is your proof of any of this?
It always amuses me when I see these commercials for pharmaceuticals and the side effects of the drug are worse than the condition they're supposed to cure.
Right, because nobody could possibly legitimately need medications as a preteen.
Did he say that? Or are you just setting yourself up for getting owned in another thread?
He's a belligerent retard most of the time, so it's better just to ignore most of what he says. That's what I do. :awe:
Did he say that? Or are you just setting yourself up for getting owned in another thread?
Insinuations, how do they fucking work?
I like to throw shit back in people's faces when they say something stupid or make an irrational judgment call or blanket statement.
Do you have anything intelligent to add to this conversation or are you just going to piss all over this thread and drag me down to your level to troll each other?
Psychiatric medications are among the most widely prescribed and biggest-selling class of drugs in the U.S. In 2010, Americans spent $16.1 billion on antipsychotics to treat depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, $11.6 billion on antidepressants and $7.2 billion on treatment for ADHD, according to IMS Health, which tracks prescription-drug sales.
