> I can't believe that in America there are drug adverts... on TV?!?

Yeah. It is crazy, it's controversial, it's got a lot of people saying it's dangerous -- I'm pretty sure I think it's dangerous, too. It's called "Direct to Consumer" or DTC advertising.

I tried to find one for you online, I think you probably can if you search. YouTube is one possibility, I guess...

The Cymbalta ad is "Where does depression hurt?" Zoloft has a little white ovoid bounding around, Effexor -- at least, I think it's Effexor -- has an ad about how "70% of people on antidepressants still have symptoms and we can fix that..." Wellbutrin touts its "low risk of sexual side effects." It bothers me for a lot of reasons -- largely having to do with me having experience with all of the drugs I see advertised...
