HipKat Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 There are things you know, then there are the moments when what you thought you knew was only a fragment of the truth. My Daughter takes 4 medications for her behavior and whatever amount of Autism she has. I, am not a fan of pharmaceuticals and controlling behavior with drugs and when a light goes on showing you just how much of a drug trade the US is engaged in with the pharmaceutical companies, you see just how fucked up it is. One of her meds is 15 MG Extended Release of Dexmethalphenadate for ADHD. For the last month, no pharmacies had any until last weekend, my Walgreens said they had 20 MG available so I called the shrink to see if there was an alternative or should she get the 20 MG. That was his call so I picked it up tonight. Standing there, waiting for the pharmacist, I'm looking at a wall of little white bags full of pills. And I realize that every single day, that wall gets distributed and replenished and this happens at every single pharmacy in the US. Every single one, every single day handing out bags and bags full of fucking pills and I'm thinking there is no damn way, NONE that so many people in this country need to be taking all those pills. Not a damn chance. How is that even possible?? As a matter of fact, the month my kid didn't have her pills, there was no noticeable change in her behavior. None. This is one of the largest sums that insurance is paying for and they pay out the ASS while people keep coming back for more. What the fuck? 1 1 Quote “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes.

Maybe you should look at cognitive and behavior specialists for the kid? Also, are you sure its ADHD and Autism? I know having a child with any condition has to be extremely destressing, but have you considered getting a second opinion on her condition? Also, yeah, big pharma is generally a scam designed to keep the patient treated but never cured. Anyways sorry that you and your family are going through this.

Yeah, she's had shrinks and a full psychological exam to show she's on the spectrum. More Aspbergers than full blown Autism. She's a handful but the point here is that millions of Americans are swallowing billions of pills daily and I don't believe that they need to be in most cases. I had a GF about 6 yrs ago who was taking meds for pain, anxiety, depression, etc., fucking 6 a day and I started smoking weed wither, she got her Medical Marijuana card and threw 5 of them away 3 Quote “There he goes.

LIBills Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I don’t know. Just my opinion over the time of my life. I have known people that have taken medication for some sort of mental illness and the shit never worked and for those who took medication for physical pain, it became so addictive that it lead to mental illness with more medication taken that didn’t work. Taking medication has to the perfect storm of misfortune for the shit to work. Example: taking Lyrica for diabetic neuropathy will make the pain go away at the right dosage that DOESN’T make it addictive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinwhiteduke Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 ADHD , autism. They're like the new trendy diagnosis. An excuse for everything. Your kid doesn't pay attention in class? Oh, well, of course it's a mental illness... Either not everyone has all these problems or they do purely because of the food and what ever else the industrial age caused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micknaboz Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Unbelievable, the ignorance displayed in this thread. I mean gimme a fucking break. You're gonna cherry pick which drugs may not work, use anecdotes to dismiss their efficacy. Really? Not all drugs work on all people. I thought most people knew that. How about the drugs that have saved millions of lives. How about chemotherapy drugs> How about insulin? How about small pox vaccine? Epinephrine? Penicillin? "Nothing but a scam"!! lmfao Fucking evil pharmceuticals, how dare they keep people alive or relieve their pain? You guys are all so brainwashed. Q is calling. 1 Quote [/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually agree with this and in the same way that I agree booster shots are nothing but revenue for Big Pharma Quote “There he goes. One of God's own prototypes.
