I've encouraged her to explore the collusion between the FDA and Big Pharma in asking them to remove the SUICIDE WARNINGS from both Zoloft and Effexor. Nobody's ever going to convince me that there isn't something fishy going on here. How many people wouldn't have taken Zoloft if that warning was there that Troy told Pfizer to remove because it would misbrand the drug. Funny thing is, back in 1994 after my car accident, my gp gave me a sample of Zoloft. I took one tablet and felt like hell the next morning so I looked at the insert and suicide was then listed as the FIRST SIDE EFFECT!!! I refused to take any more pills and told my doctor that. He of course poo-pooed the warning and said it was just there because someone " might get energized enough to kill themselves. " UGH!!
