that have been bolstered as effective when studies have shown not are Claritin and Prozac. Both had many studies showing those equal to placebo in effectiveness. Those studies were suppressed, and look at how both drugs became blockbusters!

I have always had doubts about Neurontin (gabapentin), since there is really no explanation yet as to how it is supposed to work. Given that and the fact that ParkeDavis and then Pfizer who took it over after the merger, deliberately sent drug salespeople into doctors offices to encourage them to use massive doses when no studies were in place to show safety for that...well that was just reckless and greedy. The bipolar arm was refuted finally, as ineffective. What Pfizer was doing was experimenting on people and making tons of money doing so. They were slapped with a huge fine-- over 600 million dollars for doing it.

Thanks for putting up that link. We all need a reminder now and then about this subject!
