I read this article the other day about how doctors prescribe drugs that "assertive" companies push, and if it works people continue taking it even if other meds would've been better and/or cheaper. "Assertive" companies "compromise patient care"...Really...(I can't believe they needed a study to realize it, not that docs will even pay attention)

I had a similar situation a few months ago w/ reps and Lexapro...make me wonder if i would even be on Lex if my doc didn't happen to have a cabinet full of samples to get me started on
