Medicate 'em!

Medicate 'em! No time to bond with your children. Work leave you drained and the kids just will not listen? Let Prozac help. The kids, not you.

Who needs emotion? Drug your kids! I'm soooo glad PROZAC and Ritalin weren't around when I was a little kid-let. I would have had no emotion whatsoever. I wonder what they'll think up next - a little stimulant for the shy kids? Need to drug your kids? GO HERE.

Just FYI, I've taken Prozac for years, and it hasn't dulled my emotional responses in the slightest. I'm now able to face getting out of bed in the morning (a state I once could not take for granted) but I still cry when I'm sad. The moral is; anti-depressants aren't a panacea, but they can sometimes help.

There is a drug out to help people who suffer from extreme shyness. I probably would have been prescriped it if it was available to kids when I was a tiny tot.

I wish there was a drug for all those people that seem to be overly happy (Commonly refered to as the Kathy Lee Gifford Syndrome, or KLGS for short).
