A look at the story of Xanax, a well known name, and a medication that many people relied on.
I didn't particularly enjoy this, not the content, but the tone, delivery, input, it felt to me as though they were trivialising a hugely serious topic. Some of the interviews, was it me, or were some a little obnoxious.
It infuriates me so much that anyone believes in this day and age, that you can sort out everyone and anyone's problems with a pill. Does anyone truly believe that popping a chemical concoction will remove all of someone's problems?
It's a pity that some of the so called experts couldn't have looked for alternative ways of dealing with people with mild anxiety issues, prescribing stuff like Xanax, just awful.
As a Brit, I was left speechless to learn that the pharmaceutical companies are allowed to advertise, unscrupulous.
One thing this pretty poor documentary did, was to remind me not to watch the news, or limit it to a few times a week only.
Didn't enjoy it, 3/10.
