Some Reading For You All

I am taking a day or so off here. My reasons: I have written far too much on here lately; and, if I ever have to use the trade name for olanzapine again, I will scream; plus, I need some time off.

Meantime, check out my lovely post below about NAMI and Risperdal's new homey. As well, please check out this amazing post by the psych resident known as Intueri. It's about psych meds not being everything. And, then, she has two other fabulous posts here and here. One is, um, harder than the other.

And, The Last Psychiatrist has a blazing attack on post-modern American narcissism and how it's a driver of many mood problems, and how Time magazine is a joke. The good doctor from wherever he's from slaughters so much cultural horse shit in one post that I am jealous.

Also, your reading will not be complete unless you check this from CL Psych. It's about how the FDA may have cooked its data for the recent hearings on anti-depressants. Did 'ya ever get the feeling that the FDA works for Big Pharma?

In addition, CL Psych and I both find this whole J&J/Janssen/Risperdal/TMAP/TIMA business damn interesting. Sounds like we'll both be back on the topic sometime after Christmas. Nice to see that he's agreeing with some of my off-the-cuff ramblings on TMAP/TIMA from the other day.

One final bit. Thanks to Kevin, M.D. for linking to my who-ha on the Golden Threesome of Harvard, Eli Lilly and...Zuh...Zuh...Zyprexa. If only porn were so dirty.
