   Yes, those commercials are lame. No one takes them seriously. However,   
   you've missed the point completely. The woman wasn't saying that there's   
   anything nice about sexual side effects, she was saying that it's nice that   
   Wellbutrin has a _low risk_ of sexual side effects. Isn't low risk better?   
   This was mentioned because antidepressants are notorious for their sexual   
   side effects.

   This statement is a perfect example of your delusional, distorted thinking,   
   Barbara. It's impossible to make drugs without side effects. I'm very   
   critical of psychiatry and of the pharmaceutical industry (at least the   
   people involved in making and selling psychiatric drugs), but to think they   
   purposely make people worse with side effects is just baseless, absurd   
   speculation. Do you have any evidence to back up this accusation?

   Viagra is made by Pfizer, and Wellbutrin is made by GlaxoSmithKline--two   
   entirely different companies.

   Are you against only psychiatric drugs or _all_ drugs? Psychiatric drugs   
   aren't the only ones that are potentially dangerous.
