Drugs are Bad (satire)

I remember this mvie about the two girls in Indianopolis in the 1950s who wer abused by a single mother with four kids (2 girls, 2 boys). She took in these girls because the parents were carnies and the carnie life is not for kids.
One girl was lame.

The other girl, the oldest, was physically abused until she died of a severe beating. The younger one was abused but not as much.

This happened because the mother belied her own kids, even when the oldest daughter lied about her having sex, which started it all.

Ultimately the mom went to prison for manslaughter and was let out after 10 years for good behavior. She blamed the barbituates.

It killed Marilyn Monroe. Other celebrities did weird stuff while high on barbituates. Then they banned the sale of it. Nobody did stupid stuff like this since then, except until tranquilizers started causing problems.

As did Ambien.

MMMmmmmm pharmaceutical are bad. Illegal drugs, no so bad, except for crystal meth and crack.

We should ban drugs for mental problems.

However, people would panic because they think drugs "cure" mental illness. Actually Abilify causes schizophrenia in people misdiagnosed with the disease.

I bet antidepressant cause anxiety or what looks like anxiety but is akathasia. Doctors who mistake akathasia for anxiety up the dose, causing suicide bids. Some people died cos of that mistake.

Therefore antidepressant are dangerous when used as directed.

Drugs are bad, especially the ones you get by prescription.

Illegal ones aren't because only stupid people use drugs, stupid people like Steve Jobs. :)I remember this mvie about the two girls in Indianopolis in the 1950s who wer abused by a single mother with four kids (2 girls, 2 boys).

Psychiatric Medication Awareness Group

When I was researching Abilify, I came across the Psychiatric Medication Awareness Group.

Interestingly, in BC Abilify needs a special order from Ottawa to fill out by your doctor to justify using it rather than Seroquel or Risperidal.

Most likely it is because Abilify is a new drug on the market, which isn't resold by Pfizer, the drug company that has a strong say in BC's pharmaceutical drug assessment.
