Pharm companies will continue to rule our government until We The People decide we've had enough. I cannot tell you how many times I thought about killing myself and I'm so glad I didn't. If anyone out there is reading this feeling the same way, you have to power through it. The problems you have can be worked out so many better ways and the sooner you stop taking pills the better. I am not a doctor, so talk to a Psychiatrist before you think about discontinuing use of your medicine. It's just my opinion that most people who are taking medicine don't need it. They need more exercise, a healthier lifestyle, and more people to talk to.

While they are certainly a multibillion dollar business with significant infuence, I don't know that I'm convinced they rule the government.
