Am I the only person that thinks all psych meds should be beautifully colorful?

I’m tired of boring plain looking pills

Idk. I like to make animals and people with my meds. I'm not too picky about colors.

Psych meds why?

See? Look at those happy little eyes 😊

Viibryd is a nice shade of pink. Hydroxyzine has some cool greens.

The worst color, though, is gabapentin--it's a rather gross shade of yellow-orange-brown.
Thanks for this!

Someone has to feed big pharma. And, of course, the FDA.

~Christina, I have had the same thought! I am always so disappointed when I open a new bottle of pills and they are the same dull colors as always. Even the slightly brighter pills are blah. I want pills with tiny, brightly-colored pictures on them! I want psychedelic pills - really swirly and VERY bright! Pills that glow under black light. Pills that glow in the dark (that would actually be really useful when i drop one)!

I say YES to this movement
Thanks for this!

I just got put on Wellbutrin. They mixed 2 different generics in the bottle so I have a mix of vibrant pink and blue. Makes me happy just looking at it.
Thanks for this!
