um, hel-fucking-lo!?!?!

glaxosmithklein seem to think that maybe their little pill that's supposed to make you not so depressed might increase suicide attempts in "some young adults" (read: those prone to suicde (most) and already on the drug).

The studies of children and adolescents found mainly evidence of suicidal thinking and agitation. There were no completed suicides reported.
(cause you can't say "successful suicides")

hey, alanis, THIS is ironic.

SIDE EFFECTS: stomach aches, headaches, dry mouth, dizziness, feeling of utter hopelessness.

benefit of the doubt time (because here at bor we look at all sides of the story):

"It's not clear that the drug caused the behavior," she said.

it might just be that all the people they tested were already depressed suicidal.
