Topiramate and the TrimSpa girl? What, no phentermine?

Somehow I doubt her quack physician is up on the Vivus trial results. :)

Ativan, valium, klonopin, meprobamate, robaxim (probably), chloral hydrate--all act on GABA receptors, redundant polypharmacy taken to the extreme...

Chloral hydrate? Meprobamate? Those drugs were considered obsolete in 1975...It's hard to imagine someone in the US actually writing scrips for these... I'd have to bet she got a lot of these on the Internet, and it would be vaguely interesting to know if they were labeled accurately, or if antiquated drugs were being sold under another guise....

Perhaps Sidney Wolfe will be quoted as saying that this is another example of the inadequacy of the FDA's post-marketing drug monitoring efforts...
