Sal,
You really need to watch the movie "Brain Candy".
It's a black comedy parody of the whole psycho pharmaceutical industry, and includes, among other things, a scene where a drug company marketing rep describes how he came up with the name for that company's latest wonder antidepressant, Gleamanex.
This movie has so many messages for anyone who has been subjected to psychiatric drugs.
It's kinda like Peter Breggen meets Monty Python.
> I think the coolest has got to be Aurorix, followed by Effexor and Stablon (Tianeptine). But I wonder how they come up with the names for these.
