But again in my experience that is not true. I suppose it could be one of those differences between England and Scotland.
I am not underestimating it. You seem to be assuming that all prescribed drugs are so prescribed because of pressure from big Pharma. That is an extremely biased position that does not reflect reality. It also ignores the increasing role of NICE to do the intellectual legwork in assessing drugs.
That's right, change the subject. Lets not spend money on a substance that does no harm and has been shown to do a lot of good.
