The ONEder Man: Francesca Allan: Did you know that over 50% of the FDA's funding comes from pharmaceutical manufacturers? proof? You could start here:  Quote: and if that is true then why aren't more of the controlled drugs not controlled? i'm sure rich companies have made more off of say vicodin then anti-psychotics, making them richer and able to "buy off" the FDA even more so, correct? I can't speculate on what forces are at work here. I'm just pointing out that just because the FDA calls a drug "safe" doesn't make it safe. Francesca Allan: And I know from painful personal experience how awful they are to try and get them out of your system. Quote: and as holy knew, they helped him immensely so that point is very subjective No, not really. We're discussing two different things here. Rebound psychosis is a horrible and very common condition. Psychiatrists are not at all honest about warning patients about what happens when you try to withdraw. Holy said the drugs helped him. Fine. You'll note that he didn't comment on trying to come off them. posted by Francesca Allan |

Here's a better article about scamming the FDA. This one's from Scientific American: A relevant quote from the article: The current problems appear to stem in part from the 1992 Prescription Drug User Fee Act, which sought to speed the introduction of new drugs by allowing the FDA to accept user fees from pharmaceutical companies, which were then siphoned into hiring additional drug reviewers posted by Francesca Allan |
