Drug reps do not belong on this site, but it's possible they have been here all along without identifying themselves as such. When someone raves about a drug, that poster might be someone being paid by the drug company to do so. When someone trashes a drug, he may actually be trashing a competitor or potential competitor of the drug company he works for. The most positive thing I can say about the Lexapro pharmrep is that at least he identified himself as a Forest Lab rep. Nevertheless, I think it is inappropriate for salespeople to post here. I had hoped that SPAM would not make it's way to this site. By any other name, it's still SPAM. Isn't it bad enough that pharmaceutical companies spend millions of dollars COURTING physicians with pens, gadgets and high-priced dinners at the fanciest restaurants, etc? It is sickening and unethical -- but not surprising -- that a pharmrep would infiltrate Psychobabble and attempt to hawk his wares here.
