Not true? Then why does this site exist? Are we all just badly educated? Tell me why, when I asked three different doctors if I could be on Effexor while pregnant, they each said: "Not enough tests have been performed, so we just don't know." They advise against it because they'd rather be safe than sorry. Shouldn't we know all the side effects before a drug goes on market?

Hello - PremPro? Perfect example of a drug that - whoopsie-daisy!- wasn't tested enough before it hit the market? Fen-Phen also? (Or is it phen-fen?)

I'm a huge fan of science - so let's have more of it before we prescribe people drugs, that's all I'm saying.
