THIS IS ONLY A START OF MY RANT ON THIS TOPIC

FIRST! WHY WOULD THEY ADVERTISE PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION TO CONSUMERS (PATIENTS)? THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO PURCHASE THEM! THESE NEED TO BE PRESCRIBED BY A DR…..! 

AGAIN!, WHY ADVERTISE TO CONSUMERS (PATIENTS) SOMETHING ONLY THIER DR CAN PRESCRIBE? ***(COULD IT BE FOR THE “COMPLIANCE” OR MAYBE THE “INFLUENCE” THE PATIENT HAS ON WHAT THE DR PRESCRIBES?)  

Lets talk about these commercials, or medications being advertised—–

EXAMPLE- ANTIDEPRESSANTS- (NON-SPECIFIED)

THEY SAY THAT “ADDING ****** TO YOUR CURRENT TREATMENT MAY BE BENEFICIAL…… BUT——- SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE”-

• INCREASED DEPRESSION
• SUICIDAL THOUGHTS
• HEART PALPITATIONS
• ANXIETY
• ABDOMINAL PAIN
• DRY MOUTH
• CONSTIPATION
• SEIZURES
• LOSS OF APPETITE, INCREASE OF APPETITE
• BLACK-OUTS
• LOSS OF SENSATION IN HANDS AND FEET
• HALLUCINATIONS
• LIVER, KIDNEY, AND HEART FAILURE
• IN RARE OCCASIONS- HAVE RESULTED IN DEATH!

DOESN’T THAT SOUND SWELL?
