Yea Phil....like what I think was really someone who needed these medications was people in state hosptitals that have no ooncept of reality, they can't cope in the real world. But if you think about it...the pharma companies have used their label conditions to relate to average people to take a certain drug so it would be more nation wie spread and more money for them. That's why you see all these abilify, seroquel, cymbatla commericals....but don't get me wrong because their is alot of people who do need these medications. It's just picular that its become almost a fad to take medication...just doesnt seem right to me...
like the person that can't relax goes to doctor in the 1950's and usally gets prescibed Miltown until Librium and Valium hit...you will see all these advertisements of advertising these tranqulizers both minor and major for stress related to normal day life situations. It's just so wide spread since 60 years ago when medical illness because a more awareness to society.
Anyways that's it for me:) by the way thanks for the response...
