    Many psychotropic drugs have harsh side effects. If you ever dealt with anyone in full blown mania you wouldn’t hesitate to try anything. One big problem with bipolar patients is they stop taking the meds. This is in part due to side effects and simply mania is a more enjoyable state, for them.

    It’s a rather touching story of a in-the-closet lesbian who can’t face her homosexual self but finds the courage to do so by taking Abilify. “What? All those years of bipolar this and bipolar that and all it was was going down the path that I was afraid to follow? Oh, my… I’m gay and thanks to Abilify I got a lesbian partner that I love and cherish for the rest of my life! THANK YOU ABILIFY!”

    A wise man once said, “Doctors are no longer practicing medicine. Thanks to the Pharmaceutical and Insurance Industry they’ve been reduced to merely being dealers and consultants.” On the one hand, you’re supposed to suggest to your doctor what drugs you should be taking when it’s really just the guy getting paid $9 an hour on the other end of the phone that makes the actual health care decisions.

    I still don’t understand why they advertise prescription drugs when one can’t buy them directly. Your DOCTOR should be the one “advertising” a drug to you based on his personal diagnosis, not your own diagnosis after watching a stupid commercial on TV.

    Plus with all these fricking commercials for these drugs just JACKS the prices for them, which makes insurance companies millions to help pay for these things.

    #8 – It’s not legal for your doctor to “sell” you on a certain drug. His job is to make a diagnosis and prescribe appropriately. But, if you ask your doctor about the drug, then the rules change. Yeah, pretty dirty, I know.

    “We’re sorry, this video is no longer available.”

    I’m getting really sick of YouTube this last week. It seems like 80% of linked videos are “no longer available”.

    People need to stop using them and use one of the more reliable clones out there. Google are running YouTube into the ground, just like they did with Google Video.

    The “disease”: mood swings, racing thoughts, usually high energy, irritability.

    The “cure”: relax, slow your thinking, get physically idle, and feel good about it.

    Umm, can’t you just smoke a joint, and get the same results without fear of: high fever, stiff muscles, involuntary permanent muscle movements, drug-induced diabetes, faintness, dizzy spells, impaired judgement and motor skills, trouble swallowing, coma, stroke, or death?

    Sure, you might have confusion from the high, and high blood sugar because of the munchies; but – given the alternatives above?

    Why is the ‘war on drugs’ only on illegal drugs? Shouldn’t it be against these corporations trying to push drugs on us for everything. They just cure the symptoms, and do nothing to treat the entire organism. You can treat all the symptoms you want, but until you realize that the rest of the organism is related to the problem, you will not find the ‘cure.’

    Oriental medicine treats the whole organism, not just the symptoms, and has been practiced for thousands of years.

    Hence, Tai Chi. Before the modern era, a village doctor only got paid if his patients were well. If they got sick, the payments stop coming.

    Interesting idea that . . .

    And I guarantee you, that Tai Chi is more fun than “mild to moderate death.”

    If these commercials were fully truthful, they would say:

    The MAJOR possible side effects are:
    - headache
    - dry mouth
    -diarhea

    Other noted side effects include (but we would rather not mention them):
    - Head exploding like a hand grenade
    - Testicles swelling up to the size of watermelons, turning green and falling off.
    - Homicidal rage directed against immediate loved ones
    - Urge to insert spiny things in rectum
    - Inability to walk forwards, only backwards.
    - Belief that Republicans care about people at all.
