FU pharmaceutical companies

[tysonpunchinguterus]

FU to pharamceutical companies. Why the fuck is it that every damn medication in the world has to list diahrrea as a side effect? What sane person would ever think that shooting shit out of your ass like a snow-blower going through mud is an acceptable trade-off for putting an end to itchy eyes and a runny nose? And why the fuck do some allergy medications list cold-like symptoms as a side effect? Aren't they just saying that the product doesn't work? How the fuck am I supposed to know if my runny nose is from pollen or from the medicine? That's just stupid! I was given a prescription for tetracycline, which is an antibiotic that can be used for a bunch of different things. I didn't take a single pill because of what the warning label said. Among the things this stuff can treat is what is called "traveler's diahrrea" (that's not why I was given it, if you care). Guess what one of the side effects is. That's right! Diahrrea. What the fuck is that? Serously, what kind of retard would I have to be to take that? It can also cause vomitting. My dermatologist gave the prescription for this, so you know that the side effects would be about 1,000,000,000 times worse than a couple pimples on my back once every few weeks. These companies sell things that stop your nose from running, and cause it to bleed, instead. That's like if I told you I could cure your headache, and just kicked you in the balls ten times. I'd say, "Hey, you're not thinking about your headache anymore, are you? That'll be 20 bucks."

i'm with you...hence i don't take pills.

The pharmaceutical companies feel that everyone over the age of 37 should be on at least three prescriptions. They just want your money, they don't care if they make you bleed from your ass. Just as long as you can bleed from your wallet!

The commercials they have for this bullshit is insane too.


I want to smash the television sometimes, but then I think how much the damn thing costs.

Wow...I'm only on one. Can I choose any other two????

Decisions, decisions...

I pick Valium and Viagra...

[Ballbuster1]

I'm only on 1, too. Don't need Viagra. Maybe a nice pain killer once
in a while would be cool. "Drug's are bad, mmm'kay?"

Medications are tested for a really long time on a lot of people and if they do anything like vomit or have diarrhea even once, they have to list it as a side effect. I would not recommend not takeing your prescriptions for fear of side effects.

I currently take 5 regular prescription meds (every day), 2 as needed, and right now I am on 1 other prescription med temporarily + daily aspirin and over the course of the next month will take 5 other prescription meds. Only one of them actually CAUSES diahrrea! Oh and then theres also epinephrine if I ever decide eating shellfish sounds like fun.

And i never thought I would say this but I agree with da_hoag. take the meds.

[jpc165]

I would have to say I love pharmaceutical companies. They pay my girlfriend a very nice salary to test out all those fine pills. Which means more gooder gifts for me.

:xyxthumbs

Oh and without pharmaceutical companies I would probably be dead or would have had to attempt a bone marrow transplant.

I'm a slave to my medecine. I'm epileptic, so my choice is take the meds or do my fishout of water dance. Fortunately, I don't experience much side effects to what I'm on now, but as I was growing up I was put on all kinds of nasty shit to try and control things. Ahhhhhh, the horific joys of youth.

[Hoagie]

I hate this place....nothing works here.....the medications don't work....I've been here for 7 years.

[Sinn Fein]

After reading this thread, I have a new-found appreciation for being chemical-free.

[tysonpunchinguterus]

I don't actually need the medication. I'm not even on it anymore at all. I was given something else. It was for backne, not anything serious. There are ways to get rid of that without explosive craps. I figured that I was given an overly strong prescription when everyone who asked what it was let their jaw drop when I told them. Apparently, tetracycline's side effects aren't one of thse deals where only one or two people in the test froup experienced them. The stuff will make most people either puke or crap a lot. I was actually going to take the stuff until I kept hearing that from people. Those pills weren't really necessary. I told my doctor I wasn't taking them, and he didn't mind.

I'd keep taking the medicine if it was for something serious. I'm not going to have a heart attack or anything just to avoid an explosion at the chocolate pudding factory. But I won't shit and puke for my dermatologist.

This thread makes me happy that I resist medications if possible. Advil cold & sinus is about the hardest drug I've taken in the last 5 years.
Best side effect ever: WoW chips made with allustra (sp?) side effect listed on bag of potato chips: "may cause anal leakage".

[Sinn Fein]

That is basically what I do. When I have a cold, I take nothing. I just let my system fight it off. Consequently, I hardly ever get sick.

[gasbuddah]

I was convinced that medicine was given out by doctors for no reason when I was elementary school. I'd fake sick to get outta school and my grandmom would take to the doctor. Then, guess what? The freakin doc always found a reason to give me a prescription. What a load of dookie.

[Stinkysteve]

I'm still annoyed by the commercials!
The whole fucking commercial there is some bimbo in a long flowing white dress with rose petals falling around her. All they say is the name of the drug and you never know what it's for!
"Hey Doc, I need the drug that makes rose petals fall from my vag!"

[tysonpunchinguterus]

I can get some of those for you if you really need them. Don't worry about not having a vagina, either. These things will give you one first, and then make the petals fall out of it. Just watch out for the thorns.
