=============================================
The pharm co.s are misleadingly refering to it euphemistcially as poop out but it is in essence "tolerance" - this to avoid being associated with "addiction" or medical depencence that they've tried to differentiate themselves with being unlike their competitors the bzds, or any other psychotropic medication for that matter.Unfortunately because of FDA loopholes the co's have been able to claim non-addicting or non-habit forming in their test results when the test results that DID show the dependence/withdrawal phenomenon were legally thrown-out test results and hence were not shown to the FDA before the drug was approved. Nice, huh?
It can be a slimy business. But the cover-up always comes out in the end...with far worse results than just being up front about it.
