Who here hasn't taken any of the drugs they advertise constantly |
|
on television?
I used to take one anti-hypertensive, that they raised to two, and then told me I had to also take a cholesterol med, then I had to take a sleep med.
I lost over 40 pounds, and no longer take any pills.
I took them for over 15 years, so am not saying anything negative towards those of us who require them, but wonder.....
Do all the constant advertisements on television create "patients"?

But then, I haven't had any of the problems those medicines are supposed to fix.
But if I did, I'd tell my doctor to avoid prescribing those drugs if at all possible.

4. Heck No, Those Side Effects They List |
|
Scare the crap out of me. Who needs to take an allergy pill that may kill your liver or result in death? And I don't even want to talk about the possible side effects of Viagra. Yikes.
