answer:In the wake of the Vioxx case, with Phen fen in the 90’s, and with other high-profile drug recalls, I guess some people just don’t trust what big pharm companies are trying to push down their throats. I understand that for a lot of things- psychosis, extreme anxiety- the benefits outweigh almost ANY possible side effects, because the symptoms they treat are so debilitating, but these high profile drug recall cases illustrate that perhaps longer drug trials are required to really get a sense of how these chemicals will affect your body on a long-term scale.
