> Yeah, right. I think we all know better, but at least it gets folks who think there is no chance in hell to at least step onto the medication merry-go round and dance (the Apoc-calypso?) with some of us other frequent flyer sufferers.--------------------------------------------------
When you say "we all know better", are you referring to us here on PB? That I would agree with. I certainly don't think the unwashed masses know better. I think the general thought of someone who has never taken a psychiatric drug when they see one of those commercials is that the drugs will make you truly happy sans annoying, unrelenting side effects. Those commercials are there to make money. They are not an altruistic outreach program for people in pain. If that were the case, you'd be seeing the ads done by nonprofit orgs.
