Drug Company PR Reps Are Trolling My Blog
Ramesh has left a new comment on your post "Reader Mail #62":After suffering all of my life with depression and then later in life (20-33) with severe anxiety, insomnia, and a general feeling of restlessness to the point I thought I was going to "crawl the walls", I was prescribed Seroquel. I quickly found out I had to take my dose at bedtime due to being so sleepy when I took it during the day. Seroquel has been the ONLY medicine that has worked for me to ease the symptoms of my Bipolar Disorder 1. A Big Thanks to Seroquel for making life easier for me!
Drug company PR reps look for blog posts with the keyword "Seroquel", and then post a favorable comment.Google is useful! The exact same comment is on this page.iluzzion said:

Here, the user name is "illuzion" and not "Ramesh".It's nice to catch a drug company PR rep redhanded. Just because a website has pro-drug comments doesn't mean they're accurate!
A pro-drug comment isn't definite proof, but this incident is. Whenever I see someone claiming a psychiatric drug helped them, I'm incredibly suspicious.
