Mental Health Information

I told my "prescriber" ( as Big Pharma calls doctors nowadays)
that if I needed a drug, I wanted a generic version of the oldest most effective drug.
The last thing I want to take is a newly released drug ( "new" meaning within past 3 years)
My reasoning is this:
The FDA is a wholly owned subsidiary of the pharmaceutical companies.
There have been, for years, constant reportsof drug makers reporting flawed/skewed/dishonest test results of drugs they invent.
WE are the guinea pigs.
So, for most medicines, I want proven drugs, or at least those that have been reported on widely enough by people, so I can check them out.

Does not apply to emergency medicine, btw....that is a different situation.
