Drug Samples Cost

A new commentary published in the Journal of Pharmaceutical Policy and Practice reports that branded drug samples handed out by the pharmaceutical industry increase drug costs for everyone and compromise patient safety.

Emily Couvillon Alagha and Adriane Fugh-Berman present a collection of condemning research around branded drug samples that contradicts prevailing physician beliefs about the benefits of the practice. According to the authors, research has found that only drugs with the highest profit margin are sampled, that patients receiving samples have higher overall out-of-pocket costs for their healthcare, and that those with the most financial need are the least likely to receive samples.

This commentary joins a chorus of research that shows the pharmaceutical industry is willing to sacrifice public health for profits. The authors write:

“Samples are not a charitable activity but are instead a highly effective form of drug marketing. Samples remain the largest marketing investment among most companies. Pharmaceutical companies would not invest so much in optimizing sampling distribution if they did not see a return on investment from these strategies.”

Serotonin Zombies

The Serotonin Zombie: Authors of New Study Try to Breathe New Life into the Dead

However, the results of the study actually support the conclusion that low serotonin is not a cause of depression.

The researchers studied three questions:

1. They asked whether people with depression had lower serotonin than healthy controls at baseline—and found that they did not.

2. They asked whether serotonin levels correlate with severity of depression—and found that they did not.

3. Finally, they asked whether people with depression dosed with an amphetamine would have less change in serotonin than people without depression dosed with an amphetamine—and here they found a statistically significant effect. But their own data shows that 10 of the 11 people with depression overlapped with healthy controls—the result was driven by one outlier.

Even The Guardian has somehow spun this into “clear evidence” that depression and serotonin are related.

Depression stats are still high , despite all the “ advanced treatments “

Between 1987 and 2007, the number of people receiving treatment for depression in the United States increased fourfold (and has continued to rise more gradually since). However, the prevalence of depression either stayed the same—or may have even increased—during that time. Researchers call this the “treatment-prevalence paradox” (TPP).

* Browse through a DSM for all the codes that allow billing to insurance and you’ll find every human emotion , every sickness , every disease and you can bet the pharmacy has an antidepressant for that particular issue .

No science. Read the facts of how efficiently testing is done or not.

Ready of the kin ship between FDA who usually rewards the best show , not the best product.

The horrific loss of life and families erased as mine was began in 1987 with the huge push to diagnosis bipolar which presented in varied ways .

Their eyes are wide shut about these side effects and society accepted , the law embraced the all knowing wizards of Pharma and suicide was normalized by many especially 80’s

Ignoring thus supporting abuse Knowing thus supporting the trauma .

For these reasons and more , having personally exited that matrix , I’m aware there are many like I was ; induced into a state of Ill health and toxic mind and endured 5 years of neglect , abandonment , having no interest in my life , before leaving for another 20 year period aligned with his twin .

Learning nothing , his shadow is depressive , and I’m eager to complete business and no contact ever .

Coming to and regaining , renewing my essence was hellish in many respects but invaluable to my healing process .

Now, in a new study, researchers review the seven possible explanations for this—and the evidence for and against each one. The study was led by Johan Ormel at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, and published in Clinical Psychology Review.

Ormel and his co-authors explain:

“The increased availability of effective treatments should shorten depressive episodes, reduce relapses, and curtail recurrences. Combined, these treatment advances unequivocally should result in lower point-prevalence estimates of depression. Have these reductions occurred? The empirical answer clearly is NO.”

Despite More Treatments for Depression, Prevalence Doesn’t Decrease—Why?

Depression Treatment Increase

In my case , as in many , it was Domestic Abuse : Axis l – Marital Problems and Trauma which was over looked , and treated with toxic to me RX which induced what he termed Bipolar l

Worse outcome for diagnoses of ADHD

A teacher tried to diagnose middle son who was active but I did not feel overly so.

Our pediatrician prescribed Ritalin . In less than 1 week I flushed it down the toilet!

The change in our son was extreme and I have never been sorry to have prevented a travesty for such a unique , sweet child .

Withdrawal from Antidepressants can cause suicidal symptoms

I knew what addiction felt like when I stopped all psychiatric RX for 3 days .

It was horrible . One must taper off , which I did .

I used SamE after Trazodone given to me induced colorized dreams and no nightmares

Higher than 25 Mg it kicks in as an antidepressant and maybe a serotonin uptake prohibiter

Not a good thing .

Go slowly after setting your intentions to get off psychiatric RX and their multi side effects which does not mention destroying families as 1 is targeted to be ” it ” .

Peace & Love ❤️

Her Nightmare experience with psychiatry is sadly common .

As was mine and far too many people

I am new here. 3 years ago I was committed to a psychiatric hospital against my will and forced to take Risperdal and abused by a psychiatrist.
I had a physical illness which I now know is mold toxicity and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). It’s not well known in the medical community but I was able to google my symptoms early in the illness and come up with MCAS. Not sure why they couldn’t do that.

I was diagnosed as delusional, extremely mentally ill, with psychosis due to psychotic delusions all because they were too lazy to research my symptoms. I was treated like garbage and called a liar.

I couldn’t eat because of pain and bad reactions to food and got down to 77 lbs and told the psychiatrist I needed to go to the medical hospital and get a feeding tube cuz I was starving to death and she demanded “You’re not going anywhere. You just need to get up, walk down the hall, get your food and eat it.” I was in pain with several debilitating symptoms, could barely walk, had double vision and had just laid in the bed there for 10 days. My friend had to call my doctor to get me out of there.

There’s more but it’s too long. It was a nightmare. And now it’s on my FBI background check that I was involuntarily admitted to a psych hospital. I’m doing everything I can to get justice but it’s not easy. Both hospitals and the medical board won’t do anything but I have several other places to report it to.

I am livid and believe I have PTSD because of what they did to me. They should be in jail!
