 OizraMiD:  i used to take a medication called Neurontin maybe, 5 years back for depression. This Sunday in the Globe some laywers ran an ad, apparantly there is a class action suit against the makers of the drug for 3bil, people who have taken it have devoloped worse problems (i.e. other mental issues, neurological problems, liver and kidney failure, thyroid disease, diabetes, some have comiited suicide,...). Some people whose Rx's were filled were given just a sugar pill
OizraMiD:  it's funny because i was MY WORST when I took that, that is when all the suicidal thoughts and the anxiety came to play, I HATED THAT MEDICATION.

this was sent in an Instant Message to me.  I have a related story...

My girlfriend(at the time) and I went to Cape Cod one weekend...when we came home we were increasingly itchy all over.  After discussing this with some friends, they told me it sounded like Scabies.  Jenni (my girlfriend at the time) and I both had the same exact symptoms, we sleep in the same bed, we have the same problem right?  We go to the same hospital and get prescribed two different drugs...hers was a liquid that she was supposed to smear on her body, and mine was  a cream...more on this later.
