As patents expire on current antidepressants pharmaceutical companies are getting out of the market, according to an article in yesterday’s Vancouver Sun. In the latest example, AstraZeneca announced this week that it is writing off its $146.5 million investment in Targacept, which failed to perform better than placebo in trials. The worldwide market for antidepressants is itself depressed, according to the article, having fallen from $15 billion in 2003 to a predicted less than $6 billion in 2016.

Well, all of this couldn’t be happening to a better group of companies than this group! They should have gone out of business with the SSRI’s because they work no better than placebos and have been ripping people off right and left. The larger problem is that their toxic drugs have negatively affected peoples’ brains and caused irreparable harm. The people running these companies should be in prison, plain and simple. They knew all along what these toxic drugs were doing to people yet they hid the information and continued selling the rubbish hand over fist. I hope that these companies go bankrupt. It’s time that their day in the sun ends and I hope it happens with a bang and not a whimper!
