With this president that will triple, at the very least.

I used to wonder how a civilized people like the Germans could put humans in ovens... How could they live with themselves?
Turns out the whole country was on St. John Wort - a natural antidepressant - just enough to "take the edge off" much needed guilt...

There are two big causes of this. They are the stressful economic times and the public schools. With Obama in office, look for it to double again. Who knows, maybe some of us will need them before long.

I’d love to run a cross-tab on how many of these pill poppers voted for Barry. Gut feeling, tells me at least 65%.

You gotta watch it like 10 times to read all of the hysterically funny “side effects” listed.

Aside from hypertension and heart disease, I wonder if there are any other diseases or maladies that befall over 9% of the US population - at the same time.
Sure, more than 9% have had the flu, or the chicken-pocks or some other sickness, but it's "at the same time" that is disturbing, at least to me.

Actually, I think the true figures are that about 1 in 4 are taking some form of antidepressent or tranquilizers.
Many persons don’t even know that is what they are taking. Fluoxetine (prozac) for several years now has been prescribed for severe PMS in women (no joke). Physicians also routinely prescribe Diazapam as a muscle relaxant. Diazapam is also known as Valium.
My goodness, even the military issues Diazapam as one of three drugs used to treat a nerve agent victim (atropine being another).
Use of psychotrophic medications has become widely accepted. They have proven to be very useful for many persons previously impaired. Prozac is almost something of a miracle drug in some cases.

I’ll bet 80 percent of Democrats are on them.
