Blue Pills

ANyone ever notice all these pills (or a least a lot of...) that make you forget are blue?

Xanax....Prozac....some barbies...valium...

Like the matrix...is that some kind of sick fucking joke?

Why then is DXM red?

footballs are blue

my zannys are also white. along with somas and vicodin.

Alot of drugs are considered 'me too' drugs. This means that they are the same medication, only altered just enough for the drug company to acquire a new patent after the old patent expires.

A good example of this is the drug prozac.

Released by Eli Lilly & co., it grosses roughly 2 billion in sales each year. When the prozac patent was nearing expiration, Eli Lilly released Sarafim, the EXACT same drug. Instead of being used as an antidepressant, sarafim was used to treat PMDD, or pre-menstrual dysphoric Disorder, which may not even exist.

Another example is Lipitor. Lipitor is the fourth incarnation of the original 'zocor.' All together, pfizer (the creator) is selling six different types of the same drug.

Zocor, Vytorin, Crestor, and Lipitor.

So pretty much the reason alot of these pills are the same colour is because they are the same medication under a different name. Sometimes big pharma will change the colour (as with Zanax) but most times the colour will stay the same.

Hope that helps.

a lot of psychoactive drugs are like that now...ritalin and adderall are two of them. when these drugs are made they form in "left hand" and "right hand" form, basically mirror images of each other. the new versions of ritalin and adderall, focalin and vyvanse, are just the original drug but filtered so only the left or right hand version makes it into the pill. this is supposed to increase potency while reducing side effects.

White xanax=.125 mg / Orange=.5mg / Blue=1.0mg . . . same with valium, only orange is yellow and I don't recall seeing a white.

You'd probably wear out your hand, but no head-ache and you wouldn't scream at yourself!

....true and you wouldnt be bloated.

your right/left side of your body would be fit

i'd consider viagra a forget drug. It might stimulate 'what it means to be human' but everything else about it's function in society screams forget.
