I'll never forget my pharmacy manager on Cymbalta had TERRIBLE short-term memory loss...not a quality you like to see in pharmacists...

Quoted from the above mentioned article.

The studies were funded by Eli Lilly and Boehringer Ingelheim.
Several co-authors were Lilly employees. No other conflicts of interest were reported.

No other conflicts of interests other than the study was funded by the maker of Cymbalta and several co-authors were Lilly employess. Nothing other than that....

Those two cute little sentences throw the entire article into question. Well played!

I was starting to wonder if this was a thread about, "depressed, but current therapy not enough?"

"Why not add Abilify."

I know of an eight year old on Abilify.

 

[genesis09]

yay, risperidone, but still a 10 year old on such a drug?

Yep. It's actually indicated in 10 years and up as monotherapy for bipolar I. It can also be used in autistic children (as young as 5 years old) and in Tourette's.

That's pretty common

Ugh giving anyone below 18 any kind of anti-depressant or anti-psychotic makes me sick. It's not like anyone really knows what that's going to do to the kid.

Sad.
