O true apothecary, thy drugs are quick

I saw a commercial last night for a new anti-depession drug. I won't divluge it's name, but it rhymes with Schmelschmutrin.

It was your typical commercial where apparently the freedom of this drug allows them to make much more money than they did before, alowing them the comforts of a lovely yacht on a lake out in the Hamptons where the rest of the family has recently come to the knowledge and freedom of this drug.

But the kicker came when the commercial began to list the disclaimer and side affects of the drug:

"In some children and teens, antidepressants increase suicudal thoughts or actions. Whether or not your are taking antidepressants, you or your family should call the doctor right away if you have worsening depression, thoughts of suicide, or sudden or sever changes in mood or behavior, especially at the beginning of treatment or after a change in dose."

Let me be a bit clearer: If you are taking this antidepressant and you start to feel more depressed or feel you should attept to take your own life, maybe this antidepressant wasn't designed correctly. Maybe it was put on the market too soon so the drug companies can save a bit on the R&D and hope that the first round of people trying the drug will better suit their needs for testing. Forget about the fact that disclaimer states that drug might, in fact, increase the very thing you're taking the drug to prevent.

Drug companies blow.
