I agree with you oracle!
ummm...also...I don't *think* aspirin can cause things like suicidal thoughts, manic episodes, seizures, and the other s/e's psychotropics can cause! Sure, aspirin can cause someone to die, but don't you (Bill L) think that psychotropics taken incorrectly (or even the wrong ones taken by certain people) cause many more deaths and permanant effects than a common pain reliever such as aspirin?? Psychotropics are not OTC and never will be OTC for very, very good reasons.
Personal case: I could have suffered MAJOR damage to my heart and maybe even died had I continued taking Serzone! I am glad it wasn't OTC and something I "just picked up" for depression. Because my doc and I were experimenting with different SSRI's to find what worked best for me, I was going to the doctor like once a week for checkups and such. Had I not gone to the doc, I might have kept taking Serzone. That is definitely scary!
