> Scott I read that one also. So seems like no meds are safe anymore. So what's your feeling on this? Phillipa

I think this was posted before, but yes, basically all medications that could be used potentially for mental health reasons will eventually have giant black boxes all over them.

It is, and I still say, *ss protection by some agreements between the FDA and drug manufacturers of all said above agents dating back 50 years.

I am sure there have been cases of suicide, I'm not negating them, but its the exact things of post hoc, ergo propter hoc that such as one of the Columbine killers happened to have Luvox in him therefore we should sue X manufacturer for 8 digit figures.

The crimes would have been commited if they also had breath mints in their system, with all due respect to the victims of this crime.

There were numerous other tantamount and viable reasons.


And yes, this could get to the point where drug trials are extended so long that nothing comes to market because people want cures and palliatives for something, but once it happens to cause a side effect, maim, or kill someone, then its off the market.

Well, what do we have then ?

Because, and this is not an assault on the community but I see postings, what's new on the pipeline, Y drug has come out, this sounds great.

Then drug Y causes agranulocytosis in .09% of people who take it under certain circumstances and liver issues and then its the drug from hell.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm torn with having to take what I do, and I wish it could be downsized.

But there's no perfect or magic bullet -- everything has a side effect, including water. Drink too much of it and you die of electrolyte loss or kidney failure.
