Ever Wonder Why Everything Went to Shit in the US After the Late 90's? Here's Your Answer
FDA RELAXES RULES FOR ON-AIR DRUG ADS
By John Schwartz August 9, 1997

Coming soon to a small screen near you: prescription drug advertisements that actually tell you what the product does.

The Food and Drug Administration yesterday proposed new guidelines for television and radio advertisements that would allow drug manufacturers for the first time to explicitly state their product's purpose.

The move, which is part of a broader FDA effort to provide consumers with better, more understandable drug information, "can help promote greater consumer awareness about prescription drugs," said Michael J. Friedman, lead deputy FDA commissioner, in a statement.

But a leading consumer advocate warned that manufacturers will use the new advertising opportunities to sell consumers new, more profitable products when older drugs may work as well or better. "It is a setup for misleading people," said Sidney M. Wolfe, executive director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group.


Sidney WOlfe was right.

I wonder why Paxton was impeached;

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating two pharmaceutical companies — Endo Pharmaceuticals and AbbVie Inc. — for allegedly advertising puberty blockers to children and their parents to treat gender dysphoria rather than the other medical conditions they are approved to treat.

Paxton opened the investigation in December and filed civil investigative demands with the two companies on Thursday

Not as bad as the SSRIs, they rob your soul and cause many to engage in heinous acts against others;

Eric Harris age 17 (first on Zoloft then Luvox) and Dylan Klebold aged 18 (Columbine school
shooting in Littleton, Colorado), killed 12 students and 1 teacher, and wounded 23 others, before
killing themselves. Klebold's medical records have never been made available to the public.
Jeff Weise, age 16, had been prescribed 60 mg/day of Prozac (three times the average starting
dose for adults!) when he shot his grandfather, his grandfather's girlfriend and many fellow
students at Red Lake, Minnesota. He then shot himself. 10 dead, 12 wounded.
Cory Baadsgaard, age 16, Wahluke (Washington state) High School, was on Paxil (which caused
him to have hallucinations) when he took a rifle to his high school and held 23 classmates
hostage. He has no memory of the event.
Chris Fetters, age 13, killed his favorite aunt while taking Prozac.
Christopher Pittman, age 12, murdered both his grandparents while taking Zoloft. Mathew Miller, age 13, hung himself in his bedroom closet after taking Zoloft for 6 days.
Kip Kinkel, age 15, (on Prozac and Ritalin) shot his parents while they slept then went to school
and opened fire killing 2 classmates and injuring 22 shortly after beginning Prozac treatment.
Luke Woodham, age 16 (Prozac) killed his mother and then killed two students, wounding six
others.
A boy in Pocatello, ID (Zoloft) in 1998 had a Zoloft-induced seizure that caused an armed stand
off at his school.

Michael Carneal (Ritalin), age 14, opened fire on students at a high school prayer meeting in
West Paducah, Kentucky. Three teenagers were killed, five others were wounded..
A young man in Huntsville, Alabama (Ritalin) went psychotic chopping up his parents with an
ax and also killing one sibling and almost murdering another.
Andrew Golden, age 11, (Ritalin) and Mitchell Johnson, aged 14, (Ritalin) shot 15 people,
killing four students, one teacher, and wounding 10 others.
TJ Solomon, age 15, (Ritalin) high school student in Conyers, Georgia opened fire on and
wounded six of his class mates.
Rod Mathews, age 14, (Ritalin) beat a classmate to death with a bat.

Not like voting matters but I'd support the first person who campaigned on revoking FISA and the Patriot Act. After all Trump knew about what they did to him, he still signed the renewal of FISA and the Patriot Act.

Re: Ever Wonder Why Everything Went to Shit in the US After the Late 90's? Here's Your Answer
Almost 35 years ago American drug regulators approved Prozac, the first in a series of blockbuster antidepressants known as selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (ssris). Prozac and its cousins were lauded by patients and doctors as miracle drugs. They lifted low moods quickly and seemed to have no drawbacks. Divorce, bereavement, problems at work—a daily pill was there to help with that, and anything else which made you sad. Many people have stayed on these drugs for life. In Western countries today between one person in seven and one in ten takes antidepressants.

The shine of ssris has worn off. A growing number of studies show that they are less effective than thought. Drug companies often publish the results of clinical trials selectively, withholding those in which the drugs turn out not to work well. When the results of all trials submitted to America’s medicines regulator between 1979 and 2016 were scrutinised by independent scientists, it turned out that antidepressants had a substantial benefit beyond a placebo effect in only 15% of patients.
