If there is a problem see the doctor. If you need meds the doctor will tell you your options and hopefully the side effects.<BR/><BR/> I'm with you, I'm scared to death to take some of these meds because of all the scary side effects they have. Honestly can't they give us something that isn't so dangerous to our health?Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04409993049674941404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816300029825210301.post-74698309458777492272008-04-09T10:25:00.000-04:002008-04-09T10:25:00.000-04:00We have enough folks here to launch a protest! *...We have enough folks here to launch a protest! ***starts painting the signs*** :)OLD BITTYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11215311883055777111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816300029825210301.post-36652286310867261052008-04-09T07:25:00.000-04:002008-04-09T07:25:00.000-04:00YES!!

I could go on with my own special rant about the pharmaceutical business, but I prefer not to get so riled up this early in the morning. :)<BR/><BR/>@jillian... <I>Feeling depressed? Take this one!

What we get whilst eating dinner are usually ads about personal hygiene and other undesirable things. <BR/><BR/>I am blessed with a doctor that isn't shy about getting her medical books out and checking side effects etc., in front of me. I try not to take any drugs if I can help it.Babs (Beetle)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06172908857369441800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816300029825210301.post-37797755659820173572008-04-08T19:47:00.000-04:002008-04-08T19:47:00.000-04:00Hear Hear I couldn't agrre more..but in away I am ...Hear Hear I couldn't agrre more..but in away I am glad they give you the side effects on commercials as here in Canada half the doctors just throw a pill at you quick as they can so they can get on that cruise of the carribean put on by the drug companiesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816300029825210301.post-23839255182292625422008-04-08T12:04:00.000-04:002008-04-08T12:04:00.000-04:00Have you been eavesdropping on my conversations at...Have you been eavesdropping on my conversations at home? You quoted what I said to my wife almost perfectly!<BR/><BR/>What bothers me the most about these ads (especially the ads for ED medications) is that, since the only television I bother watching is the 6:00pm news, the only time I get to hear about cialis or listen to "Viva Viagra" is when I'm trying to eat dinner.<BR/><BR/>Elvis's family should sue over that ad, BTW.Thriellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00760426874390200734noreply@blogger.com
