It`s not a psychotropic drug, but the drug commercial that always strikes me as most absurd is the one with the grandfather who can`t help his grandson move to a big boy bed until he goes on epoetin. You would think anyone getting chemotherapy would already have a doctor monitoring his meds pretty closely and not have to go to the doctor and tell him what he needs. (also, they conveniently leave out of the commercial the fact that this drug is only given by injection.) All the drug ads are pretty hilarious, but they also make me mad, all that money spent on advertising instead of research. Cecilia
