I have been told that my blood test showed that my liver enzymes were elevated. I am on several medications, for depression, anxiety, and back pain. I have been taking these medications for years with no problems. All of these new medications have made me very sick, and most of them had to be stoped. The doctor has put me back on my old medications, and I'm beginning to feel better. My old medications were off patent, and are generic, do doctors make these unnecessary changes to help the drug companies sell newer more expensive drugs? Are the doctors working the big drug companies, or me? Patented drugs are expensive, generic drugs are not, so they are cheaper, and less profitable for the big drug companies. I think medicine in this country has more to do with money, and politics, and less to do with health care. What do you think? I think this is a very important question, and I'm looking for thoughtfull answers only, please.
