I'm not surprised either....the makers of antidepressants definitely know about all the risks of these drugs, but do their best to keep it quiet because it suits them perfectly.

Hey, how are you doing, NB?? It's been a long time with no update from you!

What really bothers me is that it wasn't even forced off the market by the FDA.

A few weeks before it was recalled (voluntarily), the FDA sent a letter telling them to add warnings about skin reactions (something along those lines).

It makes me wonder if that's just a form letter they send out after a certain number of years/months on the market? Where did that come from? What data had they been analyzing to cause them to see allergic reactions but not heart attacks and strokes?
