Side Effects

Ok so my first commonsensical is all about side effects. When the side effects are worse than the problem is it worth the risk? If you watch a lot of tv like me, then you have seen those drug commercials a million times over.

I'm not going to name any specific drugs, but when the side effects for depression are all things that makes one depressed, doesn't the defeat the purpose of taking the drug?! Suicidal thoughts, sexual dysfunction, weight gain, ect, are all things that cause depression! It doesn't seem to make sense to use a drug that causes the problem you are trying to get rid of.

Ok, so moving on...this is not really a side effect concern, but more of an observation. So why is it that the people in the herpes commercials and the tampon commercials always so damn happy? Does anyone else find this disturbing? Granted one is an incurable disease, and the other is a natural female bodily function, but still. I'd imagine anyone with an STD they can't get rid of would not be happily bouncing on the beach. And speaking from personal experience a period is not all that exciting. Nothing about it makes me want to go swimming with friends or ride on anybody's damn horse (yes I said damn, because that's what it becomes at that point).
