Why Big Pharma is not addressing the failure of antidepressants

Clearly something is very, very wrong in the system when infant mortality in many third world countries is LOWER than the US. Hospitals are obviously doing it wrong.

Even in Britain Kate went home 10 hours after giving birth. I was amazed. Granted she had the very best, expensive, medical care and legions of help though.

They always tout

aah well there's your mistake you see :D

never believe them.




does this sound familiar? some crazy foreign guy waving arms saying, "but swami was 297" and some scientific authority says "it's impossible" and then you feel deeply assured that people from other cultures are "foe-NIs"



how about this?

some guy, maybe he's named waveguide, keeps posting in toker's den about the freemasons, but no one ever reads those threads, they just post "the whole thing is a mess and i don't know why".

maybe read those threads!

my father, old man, from the back woods, doesn't know shit about social protocols and conventions.


goes to the doctor for a cyst on his ass or something.

now, my pa is a u.s. vet with a history, like me, of being harassed for speaking out.


my dad got like a $40k bill for this incident,

where he goes for this cyst to be removed,


the doctor takes like hours to show up (golf)


and start cutting up my pa with no anaesthesia


no anaesthesia



my pa doesn't fcuking know that you get anaesthesia nowadays.





then the doc left him on the fucking table for hours.





course, since both he and i are so widely respected in society, complaining about it (i swear the dude has spend like 10 years in the local fbi offfice filing against electronic harassment from the govt) surely that asshole will get away with the whole thing and my father gets stuck with a huge bill for being mercilessly tortured by some prick.





i wish that i hadn't heard that story a dozen times before it happened to my father.

This is why I am a hardcore libertarian. I hate big pharma, I hate the legal system, and I hate doctors in general. The moment they think you know too much, they become hesitant to prescribe you anything since you must be lying. Ive only taken regular medicine once, called "alimemazin". The hangover from it was worse from the anxiety.

Personally I got out of the shithole by just quitting previous occupations, getting back to training, eating healthy and sleeping more. Cannabis is excellent to use when you feel down. I never had any memory issues from getting sad or from cannabis. I still toke weed with ibuprofen though and sometimes supplement with 5-HTP. I think that would be enough for serotonin/neurogenesis.

Why heal the wound when you can just sell them bandaids?

Instant gratification/treating only symptoms is a serious but profitable disease in our society.

Thats not entirely fair to say because some people don't have any underlying issues to solve that will make the symptoms go away. Others get underlying issues due to the symptoms. Others can't handle the issues due to the symptoms.

BIG PHARMA is and always has been about profit, not helping people. How many of us have we lost in the maelstrom of that profit?

here's the facts about icmag posters...

tudo's thread on domestic counterintel (never mind the threads i've posted) - who fucking cares

another thread on taking $5k out of the bank... every fucker on this board is fucking outraged.


basically, even weed growers, you'd expect bastions of liberty, care about cash and couldn't give a single fuck if humanity from now into infinity are fucked in the head by robots and have to watch charles in charge until the eschaton.

i hope all your fucking $5000 keeps you happy in the hell fuckers.
are you broke and pissed? or do you not realize that the federal gov't trying to discourage the use of cash is also a sign of very sinister changes soon to come

i dunno if i'm broke, i don't have any money but neither did most of my ancestors, if you go back before money.

pissed, acting that way sure communicates to americans. i'm a 10 year veteran of domestic "counterintelligence" (read: covert institutionalised harassment because some rich assholes don't like me) been to the other side of the planet trying to get away. i'm just a sad fuck that dr. evil (michael aquino) gets to fuck with whenever they want who then is free to run through the community screaming about the masons while you all laugh at me, despite american history.

but really pissed? dunno, i'd have to start feeling to know if i was or not, and i stopped doing that at about the three year mark. implants will do that shit to you

They're not addressing the failure of antidepressants because they're refusing to see them as failures. Several of the newer drugs being advertised on tv are just repurposed anti depressants.

Cymbalta - Stated as something for depression and anxiety but is now being pitched on tv as something to treat diabetic peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, or chronic muscle or bone pain.

Another example is Wellbutrin which started as an anti-depressant but now is more commonly used to help people quit smoking.

It's like they just tried this stuff on people and if it didn't work as expected they looked for whatever interesting side effects it had and put it back out there as a medicine for that.

HempKat is correct. I believe Viagra started out as heart medicine, but then they noticed all these guinea pigs with huge chubbys, and...

If you're being dogged out so bad by The Masons, how come they can't find you here on ICMAG?

you mean like saying i sound crazy? several masons on icmag have been "outed" (threads easy to find) so shit would be quickly solved with links. they need newer profiles bro, and that reaches diminishing returns quick.
