Andrew Breitbart dies at age 43

[sadaist]

Like the drug Cymbalta. For years they marketed this shit as an antidepressant.

With recent (last couple years) shit that has hit me, my doctor kept telling me to take some anti-depressants. I refused.

I don't want to feel good about my Mom passing or putting both my boxer dogs down.

Those things are supposed to make me sad right? I don't want a pill to make me not sad that those things happened. Yeah, they all hit in pretty rapid succession which made it very hard to even function daily.....but a pill to make it better? No thank you. I'd rather be sad. I WANT to be sad about them.....if that makes any sense.

That's exactly fucking right!!

The mourning process is perfectly normal...

Get drunk as hell and call your friends crying if you have too, just keep it in perspective...

Shit happens and we all get down over it, however, the sun WILL rise on you again...

Stay away from those bullshit antidepressants!

Mourning after suffering a loss is normal. It is possible that too many losses in a short time MIGHT trigger depression, if coping with those losses gets to the point where it actually affects the brain chemistry, which is what depression is.

But the answer to depression isn't godawful chemicals. Nutrition definitely helps - get all the chemicals out of your diet, and the processed white carbs too. And then, if you must take a pill, take 5-HTP. It does the same thing the pharmaceutical poisons do, with out the horrible side effects.

Big pharma is killing people...

I hate defend them, but they are saving a lot of people also. But that doesn't excuse them from being assholes spending more on advertising and sending out salespeople to tickle doctors balls to increase sales of drugs to patients who don't need them...

Bullets are cheaper than housing prisoners, paying for unwanted kids OR rubbers.

Better yet..... ROPE, it's reusable and no matter what many people say it was and would be a deterrent. Nobody wants to dance on the end of a rope.

Thanks, Nazi cunt....

I gotta agree. I've seen medicine do some pretty damn incredible things that I will be eternally grateful for. I hope we don't all forget the good they've done while we rip them new buttholes for the bad.

Agreed completely. These days people have a pill for everything. Isn't it normal to have emotions?

Tell me about it.

My mother just got a knee transplant. They put her on this anti-clotting drug which she affectionately calls "rat poison" because the effective ingredient is exactly the same as what they actually use to kill rodents. Gee, doesn't that sound fun?? On top of that, there's all sort of weird dietary restrictions that apparently go with this poison crap, and she can't take her usual vitamins and supplements either.

I told her if she wants to thin her blood, that all she needs is regular good old aspirin and hot peppers. Well, let's just say that my own tolerance for spicy foods is NOT genetic, and mild taco sauce is what she considers "hot", so it while it would be an adjustment for her (at age 70) to up her tolerance for heat, it would probably be less problematic than the hoops she's jumping through to stay on this godawful shit.

Well, not literally jumping much at the moment, given the injuries, I guess. But anyway point is, she's believing whatever the doctors tell her, not taking into account that they're getting kickbacks from the (legal) drug pushers.

It's probably Pradaxa...

If so, click here!

[ELVIS]

BTW, Counadin always worked fine but it's not profitable...

[FORD]

I think it's Counadin. But I see that they both have the same active ingredient, literally rat poison.

[Guitar Shark]

Isn't it coumadin?

[FORD]

Isn't it coumadin?

That's what I thought too, but it seems to be spelled both ways. Probably the drug company changed the name after too many lawsuits

[Guitar Shark]

I'm surprised ELVIS didn't spell it "coonadin"...

Don't encourage him...
