I disagree with many of the pharmaceuticals that are sold as cures for various complaints. Too often, drug trials are not enough and the public get sold a bum steer. We've seen it happen every few years.

Nowadays, the world is getting more like Orwell's Animal Pharm and we're all the experiments!!

Of all the demographics to get a depression-inducing drug! More fun and games for the greedy drug companies. It's no laughing matter, of course. The government are culpable, as are our doctors, but as ever, we'll overlook that.

Have no fear, it will soon enough be swept under the rug with all their other war crimes. The odd out-of court settlement won't scratch the pharmaceutical companies' astronomical profits.

There were "clinical tests", so it's no one's fault, is it? Let's not mention who *paid* for those tests. It's not a conspiracy, it's supply-and-demand. The public want magic bullets and "instant relief". "The public", then, are morons. They've been trained to eat up whatever soup the government or conglomerates feed them. Whose fault is that?

I blame the fools who buy the drugs. I haven't had a prescription in over fifteen years, preferring to instead keep myself healthy, and "fight" disease in more wholistic ways, even though it usually requires some effort on my part. Ergo, I don't require pharmaceuticals. What's your excuse?

Drugs? There's always a better way. But if you are too damn lazy and too damn programmed to go find and implement it then, Pay up! Take the risks and the side-affects! And stop f*cking complaining!

Why is it that nowadays everyone has to take some kind of drug or other at the slightest excuse?

Whatever happened to grinning and bearing it---or in the case of acne, using an anti-bacterial face wash?

They harp on with over-exaggerated claims about how bad smoking and drinking is, then advise people to fill themselves full of pills until they rattle at the slightest suggestion of any problem.

I'd bet anything you like that smoking 10-20 fags a day and enjoying a decent session on the beer once in a while is actually LESS harmful than swallowing bottle-loads of pills to address trifling problems, or sticking stupid plasters all over your body.

My advise is not to take any kind of medication unless you REALLY need to and even then, choose older, more natural remedies first.

What I find astounding is, what is this goverment doing to in allowing this drug company to carry on , without demanding intensive research. This company has made huge amounts of profits from this drug. We have a drug regulatory organisation, WHAT ARE THEY DOING? apart from taking the side of drug companies.

Like I say, they think it is OK to full yourself full of pills, but if you dare to enjoy a pint and a fag, you are one of Satans Own.
