I totally agree. On Esquire, February issue, there is a whole page advertisement of Paxil. A public add for a psychotropic substance? What kind of shit is this? Why doesn’t US ban it? It says that millions suffer from chronic anxiety, and gives the symptoms: Fatigue, irritability, sleep problems, restlessness, etc. etc. So GSK wants US citizens to self-diagnose themselves, go to a psychiatrist and ask him/her to prescribe Paxil! That’s wonderful! cem

If one was a stockholder in GSK I would agree with Eric, however the point raised in this post, a point which seems to be well over the head of our poor lost boy is that advertising of drugs might not be the best way to deal with health issues.  By selling a little pill for every problem the doctor patient relationship is replaced by the consumer drug company relationship. Naturally for anti psychiatry activists like Eric that is a quite acceptable outcome.

Response:

Dear Eric, You miss the point, as always! It is not the point if Paxil is a good drug or not! It is the public advertisement of a drug I oppose here. …and for the "go fuck yourself" business, all I have to say is, you have serious personality problems, and you have revealed them here on the Usenet for quite a long time. I suggest, you go and get some help!… cem

It is amazing how I can find no points of agreement with you in one post, and agree with you by and large in another. No.Spam, you are a interesting study in contradictions
