Yeah, but he's a little easier to swallow when Ranitidine is by his side.

I've always thought of Abilify as a Harry Potter spell. Not sure what it would do, exactly. Maybe it'd be some manner of counter-curse.

At the end of the day, does he enter the house wearily and tell his wife that he had a hard day at the orifice?

Slightly off-topic...

Once I had to do a little work in a tiny Mexican village called Tazaquil. I always thought that was the perfect name for some drug -- maybe a sleep aid or painkiller.

No, Zoloft is definitely a villain - an Eastern European one. Baron Zoloft.

Buspar. In my experience, usually pronounced "BYOO-spar", which to me sounds like the name of a comic book donkey wearing a straw hat with earholes.

Valium will be too relaxing, but Risperdal will take care of everything for you. And Zyprexa, the stopper of psychosis.....or Neurontin and Tegretol.....

Singulair always reminds me of a re-seller of single engine aircraft....

But Lasix and Dyazide will keep you going!!!!

Abilify is a helpful spell in the magical kingdom of AstraZeneca. It concentrates power, making sure that witches and wizards have more strength than they would otherwise.
