I thought antidepressants made you gain weight.
To: BenLurkin
The drugs apparently used to help Barack battle depression are a cocaine-like stimulant, according to Globe. "I will confess to you that I was kind of a goof-off in high school as my mom reminded me," said Obama, who grew up in Hawaii. "You know, I made some bad decisions that I've actually written about. You know, got into drinking. I experimented with drugs. There was a whole stretch of time that I didn't really apply myself a lot. It wasn't until I got out of high school and went to college that I started realizing, 'Man, I wasted a lot of time.' " .... Obama has written about his drug use in his memoir, "Dreams from My Father." Mostly he smoked marijuana and drank alcohol, Obama wrote, but occasionally he would snort cocaine when he could afford it.

If they are prescribed by a doctor, no harm can come from it.

Interesting....didn’t realize he used coke “when he could afford it.” I’m guessing he can “afford it” all of the time now. Apparently heavy use can cause depression:
“It is well-known that cocaine increases levels of the brain chemical dopamine, resulting in the “high” that abusers feel. Prolonged use of the drug, however, may reduce dopamine levels, making it harder for abusers to experience positive feelings.” http://alcoholism.about.com/cs/coke/a/blnida030501.htm

I just posted a comment at source complaining about the ridiculous charge of "racism" made by one of Obama's witless defenders.
Racism indeed.

To: BenLurkin
Stimulant drugs cause cocaine-like brain changesThey said healthy mice exposed to daily injections of the Novartis (NOVN.VX) drug Ritalin, or methylphenidate, developed changes in the reward centers of their brains, and some of these changes resembled those in mice given cocaine.Snip...Millions of children take stimulants such as Ritalin and Shire Plc's (SHP.L) Adderall to treat ADHD, a condition marked by restlessness, impulsiveness, inattention and distractibility that can interfere with a child's ability to pay attention in school and maintain social relationships.

Normally that is true, but this is Obama you know.
I think Moochelle is denying him food and ciggies.
