Today I fought well

Mr. Schmidt was beaten today although he put up a good fight. My counter punches were stronger and faster than the old bastards were and the day belonged to me. Mr. Schmidt will come out of his corner with a new plan to bring me down and I must prepare to battle him tommorow. Rest well Mr. Schmidt, I will be waiting.

Take these and don't call me in the morning

Remember the good old days when a proper doctor would actually try to diagnose a health problem with real medical expertise and care. These days it seems the modern docs just want to push the latest and greatest wonder pill and by doing so they can afford to accessorize the beemer or catch up with the country club dues.
Recently I have noticed an increased amount of prescription drug commercials promising everything from relief from depression to pain management and quitting smoking. The comic relief of these modern advertising masterpieces which include sad actors who transform themselves by advert end are the side effects.
How do the drug companies bypass FDA regulations by offering help with a medically neccesary problem and allowing disgusting and dangerous side effects to hide in the medication? Hush money?
Just in case there are slime boot lick corporate lawyers willing to sue me, I have changed the names of the actual medications but the side effects are real and are listed on the drug dealers websites. Here goes.

1. Sixapro for quitting smoking. - side effects listed are - skin rash, hallucinations, aggression, sleep disorder, paranoia, confusion,  suicidal thoughts, mouth blisters. Thoughts - smoke, but smoke a little less.

2. Padfair for fibromyalgia.  -  side effects listed are -  risk of osteoperosis, fever, chills, coughing, eye problems such as glaucoma and cateracts, mouth thrush. Thoughts - try pot and twinkies.

3. Frilicar for asthma/copd. - side effects listed are - life threatening allergic reactions, swelling of the face, mouth, lips and gums, trouble breathing, hives, blisters, suicidal thoughts(website actually lists the following) If you have suicidal thoughts do not stop taking Frilicar, call your doctor. Do not drive, you may feel high. In studies, a specific blood vessel tumor was seen in mice but not rats. The meaning of these findings in humans is not known. Thoughts - It sucks to be a mouse

4. Perplexor for depression - Nausea, weight gain, loss of libido and a host of other sexual dysfunctions, alcohol intolerance, excessive sweating, sleeplesness. Thoughts - these side effects are depressing, back to square one but without the booze.
As a medication taker, I understand that people do thrive on certain meds, I battle my side effect demons daily. It sickens me to see such scientific marvel thrusted forward by corporate greed. Good luck.

Up yours Mr. Schmidt

You are right behind me, you follow me, you will never leave me alone, I wish you would die. Mr. Schmidt has been a reluctant passenger in my life for over 20 years, he is the proverbial puppet master, the God like string puller that manipulates my life and the lives of those around me. Mr. Schmidt's influence on me is similar to the toxic concoction of Dr. Jekyll and then of Mr. Hyde in the way he can alter my psyche from moment to moment, Mr. Schmidt is very powerful. Mr. Schmidt keeps me medicated so I can face the so called cruel world but sometimes he alters the dosage to see me suffer in his name, like Caeser casually laughing at slaves being torn apart by lions while being served wine by the relatives of those slaves. Mr. Schmidt will die with me only to rise again to torment another poor bastard. Up yours Mr. Schmidt.
