Cymbalta Hand Soap, Zyprexa Cosmetic Bag, And More!

"Soulful Sepulcher has a wonderful set of pictures of various pharma swag she's run into over recent years of following her daughter through the mental health system.

There was Cymbalta soap at mental health court, her daughter was given a Zyprexa cosmetic bag at a psych hospital (now that's just offensive. Couldn't Lilly at lest spring for a glucose meter?) and there are lovely DTC ADHD kits as well.

For those of you who don't know, her daughter is technically diagnosed as psychosis NOS and is one of the most profound cases of mental illness I've ever run across. Her mother, who has fought heroically for her daughter's rights in the system, is beginning to lean towards autism as the most sensible diagnosis. The docs haven't gone there yet, but then she's usually ahead of the docs."

I don't care if we don't sleep at all tonight
Let's just fix this whole thing now
I swear to God we're gonna get it right
If you lay your weapon down
Red wine and ambien
You're talking *shit* again, it's heartbreak warfare
Good to know it's all a game
Disappointment has a name, it's heartbreak, heartbreak.

It's heartbreak warfare-John Mayer
