Is it just me, or do BP meds have funny names? I swear to god I could write a superhero saga with the crazy names of these meds.

For example, Geodon sounds like a friggen supervillain from He-Man... "He-Man episode 5000: He-Man vs the evil Geodon!"

And Vraylar sounds like something out of Star Trek?

Haldol sounds like a hazardous material... Like, it could totally be a biological weapon of mass destruction in a superhero saga.

Lamictal could be like... the equivalent of Kryptonite for Superman. "Nooooo! Not Lamictal!!!"

Abilify could totally be a cure for a disease. I'm thinking along the lines of that World War Z movie, where Brad Pitt has to cure the worldwide zombie virus outbreak. (It could be any virus outbreak... like any story about a virus that kills people.)

Does anyone feel me?

I do "feel you" on this!

I have been having fun learning the newest Latin dance craze, called the "Latuda!"

Superman doesn't feel anything on lamictal. Acetaminophen is way more powerful.

I read once that Emsam is named for the developer's two children-Emily and Sam. I liked that.

ah, there's always a love story involved

you can't have a story without love, i say. it'd be a good romantic-ish novel, except Emily and Sam wouldn't be related.

Nuvigil and Provigil could totally be a bestselling comic book! I would love to write that one myself. I call dibs

I used to enjoy telling people that Seroquel "quelled" me.

I think Zyprexa should be like some Greek warrior goddess with flowing brown hair and a shield.

My name is Sara so when I first tried Seroquel to my family it was Sara-quell... to quell
Sara!
Topomax sounds like a dog with superpowers. Tegetol sounds like a weapon.
