I feel like the pharmacy i work in dispenses more synthroid than the produce section at a grocery store sells apples.
 
Darvocet?? Ugh what a terrible drug.

All it does is give similar pain relief to acetaminophen while causing seniors to fall down the stairs more often. Mega-thumbs down on that one.

I have made the same observation!!! I don't think the wealthy are necessarily more depressed, its just that they can afford a doctor visit every time they have a normal physiological response. And demand a fix ( a pill)
