Pfizer’s Antidepressant Reboxetine Doesn’t Quell Illness, Analysis Finds

Which is Because; You 1st have to Have an actual Illness before you can Quell it.

"Pfizer/Pharmacia’s Antidepressant Reboxetine wouldn’t pass muster with the US FDA in 2001, but it made it onto the European Market as Reboxetine, Edronax, Norebox, Davedax and Vestra.

A new study by the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care found that published studies overestimated reboxetine’s benefit by 115 percent when compared to a dummy pill and 23 percent compared with other antidepressants, according to a report today in the British Medical Journal.

The analysis looked at 13 studies of reboxetine involving 4,098 patients. Data on almost three-quarters of those patients had never been published, the study said.

“the researchers called reboxetine “an ineffective and potentially harmful antidepressant.”

We’re Shocked, I tell you. Shocked and Amazed. Simply Shocked!

Show us Any Psychiatric Drug which Isn’t “ineffective and potentially harmful.”

In This pdf from the German Institute for Quality and Efficiency In Healthcare we kept finding Reboxetine kept falling down on the job when compared to Paroxetine/Paxil/Seroxat/Aropax.

Now There's a Helluva recommendation if Ever there was.
