Cymbalta (or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Pharmaceutical Industry)
    #5703438 -

I saw a commercial for this drug a few days ago and it's been bouncing around in my head a whole bunch. The commercial struck me as being rather ridiculous. It sounded like it could have been an advertisement for ecstasy, only it was Cymbalta.

The tagline for the drug is super-creepy: Depression hurts, but you don't have to.

Anyone know the commercial and drug I'm talking about?

:rofl2:

Yeah I've heard of this drug. I think I've also seen the commercial but I can't swear to it. Most medication commercials nowadays could easily be for ecstasy, I mean they all have people dancing through sunny meadows or playing games in a utopic setting. It's laughable. My mom tried Cymbalta once for her depression and said that it made her shakey and nauseauted and she couldn't sleep for an entire night.

Well I bet she couldn't think about her depression, so it worked. :wink:

Hahah you know, I bet you're right.

They should market a new cure for depression: cobra venom. Whenever you're depressed, just pop a pill of cobra venom, and in no time at all you'll have completely forgotten you're depressed!

(Manufacturers warning: side effects can include nausea, excruciating pain, blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, difficulty breathing, the sensation that your body is on fire, high fevers, vomitting, hemorrages, the inability to talk, paralysis both temporary and permanent, and in some cases, death)

I'm not sure exactly what that question means. It pretty much answers itself.
