Have you seen the numbers of drug ads warning of side effect : "suicidal actions"?
Edited on Sat Feb-20-10 11:40 AM by Mika
A number of smoking cessation, depression, and sleep drugs have prominent warnings for patients to stop taking the drug if they experience the (of many) side effect of "suicidal actions" in their TV/radio/print ads.

I have to ask ... what exactly is a "suicidal action" (other than a suicide attempt)?

Is living in Texas, or Florida, or driving a Toyota, voting republican, supporting nucular power, for example, a "suicidal action"?

:shrug:

1. In rare cases of unintended acceleration put the car in Nuetral and tap on the brakes.

2. That partly contradicts
what I believe all manufacturers state which is to floor the footbrake and keep it there - not pump it. And - do not under any circumstances use the handbrake.

3. I've seen those warnings on my bank statements the past few months.
But the only thing I've noticed on drug commercials is a warning about having a woody for more than 4 hours.
