Bipolar Anybody else dislike Bipolar medication commercials that make us look like crazy f*cks?

[barefoot]

You have commercials for prescription meds??
*mind blown*

Ahhh the joys of privatized health care! :wtf:

Ask your doctor about OURBRAND!!! ...side effects include <insert auctioneer speed read of 50 symptoms ranging from sudden death to anal leakage.>

Seriously, the anal leakage side effect is almost always snuck in there somewhere, and it alwaaaaaaays cracks me up :hilarious:

That or it’s 30 seconds of commercial & 60 seconds of life threatening side effects said by “the most soothing voice on the planet” :facepalm: Abilify has that down to a science.

The “you’re a bad parent if you don’t use XYZ medicine on your child” ones, though, annoy the f*ck outta me. Oh “All mom’s know...” “Choosy dads who want the BEST for their children...” “Doctor MOM! knows what to do, OURBRAND...” :rolleyes: blahblah f*ckig guilt trip blah.

Gosh, and all I get in here are 40 types of meds for the common cough.

Also painkillers, all with the same active substance, because the red dots are so damned catchy, and look how they move through the bodies before a caring waifu comes and administers the miracular medicine nobody heard of yet (... only the year before then, and then five years ago, and probably also a decade ago). :hilarious:

When I was a kid, we'd often get American commercials with the American cable stations. I used to laugh my ass off at the list of possible side effects. My favourite was the erectile dysfunction pill that can cause your dick to turn black and fall off due to priapism.

I mean, to be fair, that rarely happens. And it takes four hours before you have to tell your doctor.

"Hey doc, my boner's lasted four hours. I'm supposed to tell you about it."
"Niiiiice."
*high five*

True. I'd be more worried about the pill getting stuck in my throat, giving me a stiff neck. :p

Big Pharma. Ranks right up there with the oil conglomerate. Bigger than our government. Don't get me started... :(

I think people are assuming you’re really upset because you keep dropping the F-bomb. That’s my take anyway.

Ahh - I have a dirty mouth and just about always curse like a sailor.

Kinda ironic considering teaching was my career until PTSD set in. Mainly k-2. But I have a filter when little kids are around haha.
