It is hard to evaluate this potential for you. People vary so much.

But in the 10+ years I've been on 2 health boards, and never have seen anyone with a glowing positive response to this drug.
I have, however, read posts describing psychotic episodes that
some people have had.

Here is a website that has FDA MedWatch reports:
http://patientsville.com/medication/...de_effects.htm

This site is very good and better than most on the internet IMO.
Notice that 94% reported severe side effects.
Scroll down and read some of the reports. Keep in mind many people are on multiple drugs and that will complicate your ability to discriminate the Prialt contribution.

When a drug like this (another example is Byetta) comes on the market and bombs out because patients react to it, and sales plummet...the drug company who makes it tries to use salespeople to encourage more use. So your suspicions may be accurate.

No one can force you to use a drug...you have a legal right to refuse your doctor.

Take care.
