Oh God. I hate to say this but I agree with Cruise on a lot of what he said about drugs. I take daily vitimins (not those ultra powerful ones) so that I may avoid having to take blood pressure pills for 30 years at some point in my life. I think long term they can be toxic. However, if they found cancer in me and I knew I would die without chemo then ofcourse I would do whatever to save myself short term
I think Cruise was criticizing the use of psycho-tropic drugs for so called "mental illnesses," not the drugs for the genuine and proven medical conditions you mention. On that count, he was 100 percent right.
