  1. Absolutely absurd. Every drug, 5/5, have had serious adverse “side effects” that only came to be known after the drugs were FDA approved.

    I doubt there has ever been a drug that was released and then 20 years later there were no new significant dangers known about it.

    I know enough about “science” the hard way that I now know better than to read this junk as some kind of unprejudicial “truth”.

    I would be in a much better place in my life right now had my path not crossed with so much “science” in the form of polypharmacy psych drugging.
