Re: OxyContin & Medications

[Guest guest]

Ok, once again I am playing the " Hey, I am still alive " game Hackers anyway.

I saw this today and have a friends wife who died from complications from this

drug. I find this as serious as our illness because as an " Effexor " Taker I know

and am certain the side affects of these newer medications are horendious. I

cannot say wether they do thier job or not but I know full well when I miss a

dose. If you have noticed there have been numerous news stories surrounding

medication recently. Then when they screw it up they can blame the outragious

priced on law suits. We loose either way and they win.

I am just as angry about this situation as I am the effort to po po illnesses

from mold toxins. Speaking of which can you believe Cobb Co. Georgia is

currently building an entire subdivision " IN " the same flood plain the house I

lived in was in. This state is going to be flooded (excuse the pun) with

lawsuits in time... Hmmm Who will be to blame?

In Guilty Plea, OxyContin Maker to Pay $600 Million

By _BARRY MEIER_

ABINGDON, Va., May 10 — The company that makes the narcotic painkiller

OxyContin and three current and former executives pleaded guilty today in

federal

court here to criminal charges that they misled regulators, doctors and

patients about the drug’s risk of addiction and its potential to be abused.

To resolve criminal and civil charges related to the drug’s “misbranding,”

the parent of Purdue Pharma, the company that markets OxyContin, agreed to pay

some $600 million in fines and other payments, one of the largest amounts

ever paid by a drug company in such a case.

Also, in a rare move, three executives of Purdue Pharma, including its

president and its top lawyer, pleaded guilty today as individuals to

misbranding,

a criminal violation. They agreed to pay a total of $34.5 million in fines....

So who get this money in fines? Wonder about all the people in jail

that are addicted and had done crimes for this medication. You often

hear of people going to jail because of what they do to get this drug.

grrr, my doctor prescribed oxycontin for me. the adverse affects that

zofoft or altraset had on me was nothing compared to this crap. I

recall telling him I didn't want anymore, it was horriable. he

sheepishly mumbled something about they found it was bad anyway. I

WAS TO OUT OF IT AT THE TIME TO SOAK IN HIS MEANING. MOLD EXPOSURE

AND DRUGS DO NOT MIX AND THERES NO DOUGHT IN MY MIND THAT THIS LEADS

TO DRUG INTOLERANCE. I'D LOVE TO HAVE SOMETHING FOR PAIN BUT I JUST

HAVE TO SUFFER. i'm so pissed at being misdignosed,and given this

crap because i was being misdignosed. i happen to think that my

health was most important to me and my family and it makes me madder

than H^^^ and sometimes i really would like to just shove a bottle of

oxycontin down someones throat. i dont think i even took very many

but with mold exposure maybe even one was to damn much.

> That is a great question but I can guarantee there will be no

exceptions made for those folks. Nor will there be for the ones still

out there strugeling with what they are going thru. Then I also

wonder about those who have very legitamate needs for pain relief.

Stuff like this makes all doctors afraid to perscribe much needed

meds to those who worry less about addiction then they do the horid

pain they wake up with everyday.
