Greta Fischer’s Reviews > Empire of Pain: The Secret History of the Sackler Dynasty > Status Update

So Purdue basically said “if patients are experiencing withdrawals it’s because their pain isn’t adequately controlled and they should be taking MORE”?!

We up to 2.2 speed ✌🏻😙

The stupid peaks and troughs logic!! And the “less than 1% of patients became addicted” nonsense!!!!!!!

30k coupons given out to patients for a month of oxy is WILD

Oxy was making $20 mil in profits a WEEK!!

Heroin was created by Bayer (the aspirin folks) as an opioid alternative?? Wack

I can picture the scene from Dopesick where they explain how easy it is to remove the delayed release coating and reading about it now I cannot imagine how no one saw what an issue it was!!!

Tbh I could go for a family tree right about now, I can’t remember who is whose kid

Arthur sackler was the advertising brain behind Librium AND Valium???

In 1968, Valium was the most-prescribed prescription in the US. I wonder what it is today? (Answer: atorvastatin)

Rosch didn’t do ANY studies on the addictive effects of Librium and Valium?? The defenses they used also sound reeeeeeeeal similar to those used to justify the safety of opiates.
