The Pharmaceutical Industry

[DeepOne]

The thing about Lily is when they first invented their new wonder pill Zyprexa they wanted to get it out there and into the consumer as quickly as possible.
The use of this drug spread like Aspirin and the doctors were getting free samples and all the pens, notepads and clocks they could eat.
For a person with insurance the prescription was mere pennies (o.k. a couple bucks) but the actual cost of a month's worth of this garbage was well over a hundred dollars. See where this is going?
Later studies found that this pill was causing diabetes because of all the sugar cravings and sudden weight gain, and a severe dependency on the drug, even if you didn't really need it.
By that I mean, if you told a doctor in 99' that you were depressed, they'd prescribe this crap. Yes, I've seen it happen. It's disgusting.
So years pass for these patients taking this pill, they don't feel better (in fact they don't "feel" anything at all) and they want to be relieved of Zyprexa's monster grip.
Nope, you have to be weened off of it slowly or it can cause panic attacks, heart problems, mania, you know, like heroin addiction.
If you ask my opinion it should either be pulled or doctors should use a little more discretion with who they're prescribing this shit to.
That's my 2 cents.
