celebrex is a cox 2 inhibitor, which basically means that over long periods of time, it wont eat away your stomach lining, things like naproxen does this, celebrex wont...

 

yeah.. it was supposed to replace the need for those 800mg ibopufrens that eat the stomach lining . But Celebrex was weak , it didn't do a damm thing for the nerve inflamation like the doc said it would and at $3.00 a piece I discontinued use for sure.

Hiyooo!!

 

I have no respect for people who med themselves up over depression or the various AD syndromes.

 

To put it bluntly and dumbly, just don't be a fuckin pussy.

 

I think ADD is just a cop-out for mothers whose children didn't turn out to be as bright as they had hoped for. I garauntee, I'd be a poster child for this so-called "disease", had it not been for my grades in school.

Yet that of course brings us to the nature via nurture boggle.

 

I'm a functioning alcoholic / nutcase and I recognize it.

 

Feel free of course to disagree, but I believe that prescription drugs lead only to more problems.

 

I'm drunk, and have never drank so much goddamned wine before in my alky career.

3 liters before going out to a bar deserves a golf clap at least.

At least 15 to the pin. tiger woods 2004 faggots.

 

 

Milestonez you pussiez.

Like making "dumbly" a word.

Yeah i disagree with that shit. I have ADD and it is completely fucked up. Having 100 mini flashbacks a day when im trying to do something that takes even a little bit of concentration is annoying as a bitch. I dont take meds for it anymore though because I didnt like what they were doing to me. These days I just try to roll with it. But that ADD shit is for real for real.

Drug Maker Alters Study After Suicide

By DEANNA WRENN

 

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Eli Lilly and Co. said Friday that it will lengthen the withdrawal period used to wean participants in a drug study off an experimental medication after the suicide of a 19-year-old woman who was taking part in the tests.

 

Lilly required mental-health evaluations of test subjects after the Feb. 7 suicide of Indiana college student Traci Johnson. Some participants complained of sleeplessness, anxiety or nervousness during their withdrawal from duloxetine, a drug Lilly is testing for two uses: depression and stress urinary incontinence. But the company has said none reported symptoms that suggested a suicide risk.

 

 

 

 

 

Indianapolis-based Lilly has now doubled the tapering period for the drug from four days to eight days.

 

``We did find people who were uncomfortable,'' said John Hayes, a clinical psychiatrist who leads Lilly's development team for duloxetine. ``We were also addressing peace of mind and taking the most conservative approach.''

 

 

Hayes said there is no evidence that longer tapering periods make people more comfortable, but the change seemed ``reasonable and prudent.''

 

 

``We didn't have anyone who said, 'Thank God you're going to take a longer time to taper it,''' he said. ``Many of the subjects felt fine in the study.''

 

 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing Johnson's death. A coroner's report released this week did not cite the drug as a factor in her suicide.

 

 

Lilly has said it does not believe the drug led to the suicide, but critics say people going off antidepressants often have a higher risk of suicide.

 

 

As part of the study, Johnson took duloxetine for 20 days, then a placebo for four days before she hung herself at the Lilly Laboratory for Clinical Research in Indianapolis. Johnson had attended Indiana Bible College last semester but stopped taking classes to participate in the study.

 

 

Dr. Joe Glenmullen, a clinical instructor of psychiatry at Harvard University, criticized the Lilly study for using high doses of antidepressants over a short period then taking the drug away quickly.

 

 

``It's like a double whammy,'' Glenmullen said. ``You're creating big seesaws in brain chemistry.''

 

 

Hayes said it's difficult to tell whether suicidal people who stop taking antidepressants are experiencing withdrawal or just the return of their depression.

 

 

``I don't think there are a large number of experts who believe that discontinuation from antidepressants precipitate suicidal thinking or behavior,'' Hayes said.
