i've had this on my mind...because i always see abilify animated commercials of that lady with the umbrella and its a short cartoon clip, saying that any one who sees it should do the same, like ... if you look back into the 1940's it wasnt until the 1950's when they started advertising Miltown, and other various new drugs. I was at my doctors office the other day....this lady walked in and started looking at the med advertisements and saying I wanna to try this one....she went in [i waiting for my nurse practiner] she came out with soo many diffrent samples of medications....seroquel xr,cymbalta, nuvigil, i mean I couldnt believe it and then she walked right out and said "I got them"...you know my doctor is the most stubborn...won't listen to anything I say and then give these samples freely to this drug lady, I mean for me to get on the medications im on right now...it took long through having evidence that I needed them, not going in and doing a drug run. They keep all these samples in my doctors office...nuvigil I get them when I see them every 5 weeks, but sstill ... you know some of the mental ads today target some normal people...that don't need medication, but they put on it anyway, saying it should make life better. Like long ago...when depression was not a wide adverstised thing people only went to the doctor when they neccesitly needed help....
i don't get it but that's exactly how things are today...
not a scholar but understand distress
Med:
Prozac 60mg

avoid false lights of enlightenment, paticulary flattery...
