I got to know one of the rep's and he mentioned to me that in one month he spends more money of dining doctor's than his salary is for the entire year! Not to mention the wonderful vacations that are given to the doctors. It's really a shame that we as consumers have to have this crap medication crammed down our throats, and then have to suffer the side effects from them. What I have to say isn't going to matter to anyone reading this...I just wish pharmaceutical companies would get rid of the dollar signs and have some compassion for those who suffer needlessly.
