Have you ever hoped for the magic pill?

Asked by JLeslie (65411points) October 3rd, 2012

I don’t like that we are a pill popping society in America, and I generally don’t believe in magic pills. But, I just switched my thyroid medication to the natural one, Armour, and I am kind of hoping it will be magical. So far I am feeling very good, but I really can’t know if it is the pill for a few months I think.

I understand there are some new weight loss pills out, I think they are actually a combination of medications that have been on the market for a while. I am always against weight loss pills, but maybe I should not be so negative? Not that I need the weight loss pill, I think you have to be over 30 pounds over weight, and some other qualifications.

There was that recent study saying antidepressents don’t have more affect than placebo for mild depression. It doesn’t mean the pills don’t work, it just means they probably aren’t necessary.

What magic pill do you hope for, and would you actually take it if it existed?

What pills have you taken to cure or treat something hoping it would significantly change your life?
