I agree, we have patient years, but this does not conclude safety.
For instance, we have patient years on antipsychotics, but only recently have we attained the type of imaging necessary to confirm that the drugs actually can lead to structural abnormalities in the brain. I mean we could observe problems, but it seems that medical science needs to see thing under a microscope before it can be called a fact.
So, while it is anecdotal that the drugs may cause problems, poop-out, dependance, cardiovascular, cognative, I think that we are approaching a time that we may be able to confirm or dispute such reports with more accuracy, than we were 30 yrs ago.
Its the same think with pregnancy. While mothers have been using the drugs during pregnancy for a long time, we only now are conducting well designed studies to *sses the risk for child. So why has it taken us this long to reach those conclsusions, despite a suspected risk ?
