The FDA, the national nanny
Once again, the FDA is issuing warnings about potential links between anti depression mediciations and suicide. I'm not suggesting that there is no link or that the warnings are not serious. The problem is that all drugs and most foods are can also be considered toxic to at least some members of society. We need to recognize this fact and quit attemping to make everything safe sor evenyone.
Take water. To much of it is deadly for any human. It's called DROWNING! Does this mean that we should outlaw water? Of course not. Likewise, the baby damaging drug tholidamide is absolutely deadly to babies not yet born. To give this medicine to pregnant women should be absolutely crimminal.
BUT...
If given to someone sufferring with AIDS, it helps tremendously with some serious problems. So remember when the government nannies try to smear anti depressent drugs that there are millions of people leading robust and high quality lives because of these medications. Removing them from the marketplace condemns the people benefitting to a much darker life than necessary.
Let's adjust the dosage and learn who is prone to suicide and consider suicide as a side effect for some people. Like milk, water and everything else, we need to understand how to take the product while still enjoying the benefits.
