How about a closer look at the meds before we start handing them out like candy?
A couple of billion dollars of advertising dollars are at stake for the media that come from pharmaceutical companies. How hard will they look at this issue?
How hard will anyone look at the drugging of society with “approved” drugs? The government is all for drugged citizens as long as it is under their control.
From my personal experience, each and every prescription is written by the patient’s physician and patients require med checks on a monthly basis or as doctor determines for each case
when discussing psych meds, it is interesting how many Freepers assume
1) the drug companies are evil and profit driven
2) psych meds caue people to become more crazy, not less crazy
2) the physicians who manage mentally ill patients are all incompetent stooges
3) bad parenting is an underlying cause of mental illness
3) it’s all part of a government plan
Here's how it works. You seem to resonate to some notions of symptoms to be "cured" from the advertising of a certain psychotropic drug, say insomnia or "restlessness leg" or some other thing. You visit your general practitioner or internist, or even your psychiatrist (ant of whom can prescribe psychotropics whether trained in them or not) and perhaps you can describe the symptoms, for which they can be influenced tp prescribe the drug you think you want. Simple, eh?
