Just one of hundreds of mass chemical experiments going on with the fda today. I'm sad for all the people taking this poison. When will Americans understand how corrupt the fda is?

Patti:

They are being pulled off the market today as of the 5 o'clock news. You're on top of things.

Makes ya leary about that celiac pill they're working on too. It seems like the first couple years on the market is really the last "phase" of finding out what a pill really does to people.

My dr tried to get me to take this years ago for my "IBS". Glad I didn't. I am always very leary of taking new drugs as it is and I knew there had to be a better way to handle my "IBS". I was right.

Same thing happened with Vioxx....dr wanted me to take it for sinus headaches, I didn't and glad that I didn't now that it was pulled off the market as well.

My mom was just taking this and weaned off of it, because it quit working after a few weeks. Anyway, My doctor wanted me to take it. HE sort of gave me a hard time, like it would "fix" all my problems!! I told him I was trying natural stuff, which he did give me some advice reguarding probiotics, etc. It must make doctors feel badly to have prescribed something they were SO confident about and then have no "treatment" for their patients!

THANKS FOR POSTING.

I'M WONDERING IF THE OTHER NEW DRUG (THAT BEV AND I ARE LOOKING AT)

IF THEY KNEW ABOUT THIS ONE NOT WORKING?

BOY ----THOSES DRUG COMPANIES...

I'M SURE IN THE 'HOLD' PATTERN FOR NOW.

MY PERSONAL 'DAIRY CHALLANGE' YEP....THE gluten-free ICE CREAM SUNDAY.....MADE ME REMEMBER WHAT A 'FIBRO FLARE' WAS AND THE 'IBS' TOO.

THANKS PATTI

YEP, THAT'S OUR ...."""ALWAYS ON TOP OF IT GAL""""....PATTI

I think this is now the 3rd medication my sister has been on long-term that has been pulled off the market...

I think I remember somebody posting on this board about others using zelnorm a few weeks ago in relation to some health issues they had... can't remember exactly what the post was about, whether it was about heart or chest pain or not...
