So many meds for off label and not enough testing for these uses,
I remember the doc prescribing this as a sleep med, and for a magic pill to control the anger over being in so much pain AND pain control????....I asked him to check her sugar as she always had to have a drink in her hand, He checked called her and said the sugar was high, but he was not concerned. Within weeks, she had sugar level over 440!!!!! The sugar was a side effect and he never monitored. He was always about prescribing psych meds to chronic pain patients. Of course he thought the pain was in their mind!

These "fines" are really chump change for Big Pharma.
They are doing this now regularly. Pfizer just was slapped with a 1.2 Billion dollar fine, but they made over 30 billion on frauduent Bextra promotion! They also were fined 680 million for Neurontin. And Lilly just paid over a Billion for Zyprexa. The Big Pharma companies don't really care. They make a huge profit anyway, on the misery of the patients who were victimized. Pushing Seroquel on internists to give to non psychiatric patients for insomnia is really really terrible IMO.

Thanks Mari, she did, we all deserve better care then the 5 minutes we are given.
We want to trust our doctors and then get suckered into the med's the pharm rep's push on them as miracle's for what ever our ailments are? I went to a new neuro and he wanted to try all these samples the reps left him. The Treximet had a side effect reaction to my Lexapro and I thought I was having a heart attack. No thanks, just give me my Toradol and valium that was working perfectly fine for the last 9 years..... The triptans causing a side effect was not anything I was warned about. On the Internet I saw that if the doctor gives the first time to take it in his/her office in case the heart problem happens. Nice to be told, should have gone to the ER, but by the time they would see me the effects would be wearing off... Now I wear a med alert, no compazine and no triptans.
