    Why pharmaceutical as should be banned, like the smoking ads were.

    We haven’t watched an ad on TV for over 20 years. When ads come on the TV gets muted and we read our books for 3 minutes. Ads are FOUL and annoying!

    After listening to the list of side-effects I can’t understand why anyone would want to take that medicine. And yes, drug ads should go back to being banned as they once were. Too much selling and too little actual useful medication.

    The side effects are worse than the disease.

    One antidepressant they put me on had “increased risk of suicide” as a side effect — WTF?
