I needed a great laugh at a time like this but I live far away in Thailand and can't make it to the party.
So I have a better idea. Do what I did. WRITE DIRECTLY to the drug manufacturer and tell the company what you think of their lousy medication that poops out on you or causes you unremitting suffering when you try to quit taking it.
I wrote directly to Organon, manufacturer of Remeron, and politely asked for an explanation about why the medication might have pooped out on me. Never got a reply, of course. And Organon's website makes no provision for consumer feedback either. (At least I couldn't find any.)
So, if we ALL start writing letters and flood the drug giants with angry mail, it MIGHT wake someone up. Also, you could write to the FDA in the U.S., write letters to newspapers, get on talk shows, exercise your first amendment (free speech) rights. Tell everyone that the drug companies have mixed up important priorities: true and viable health care vs. the Almighty Dollar, and millions of people are literally sick of it. Meanwhile, you can also keep the lawyers busy with class-action lawsuits. Do something truly constructive! Speak your mind or have someone professional do it for you!!
