A pill to erase bad memories?

Is anyone else reminded of Soma from Brave World World? magic pill that makes all your bad memories and feelings go away, I'm freakin' scared

I hope they dont put it in the drinking water because we are finish.

And the side-effects include.....all kinds of shit!!!!

Our experiences, no matter how painful, shape our character. Without them we'd just be robots.

WOW... r u serious..erase memories...u learn from some bad memories... that makes u a better person bro...n besides i laugh about the memories now ..well not the real serious ones.

Sweet side effects...
Seriously just smoke a joint, or eat a brownie.
Aren't bad memories around to teach us what not to do? Taking a drug to forget something sounds useless. You learned from that experience that created the bad memory, why forget about it? This doesn't even sound good.
We thought Prozac was bad, wait till this hits the selves. People would be eating this shit up like candy, worst part is it doesn't even get you high!

Only for those who are literally in a state of emotional paralysis for what they've seen.

Don't take drugs unless we provide them to you at a affordable rate....not! (these drugs may have side effects including total memory loss, schizophrenia and death) FDA approved.

That's right, instead of working through the problems we can just try to medicate them away.....and they say that pot is bad for you. At least it's been around since the dawn of time and we know those side effects.

Wow, this would be amazing. For you who say that people should overcome their fears in order to get over anxiety, what about people who's fears were forced on them?

I think the 1 in 6 soldiers coming back from Iraq with PTSD have earned the right to choose if they need help to forget any horrors they experienced through something like this.

Sometimes, the fears are just too great to overcome on our own. Suffice to say- yes, most people should not be treated with such a thing and they should overcome it on their own, but this would be great for extreme cases (such as rape) where victims were forced to go through what they have.

As soon as they aren't writing enough RxS for the medicine an off label use suddenly appears.
Sure, beta blockers make your adrenaline levels so low that you can barely walk no less remember anything.
HAIL HAIL BIG PHARMA.

Wow, I take beta blockers, no wonder those I know say that I've become more layed back...cool beans.!

sign me up!! i need this, im nursing some pretty harsh wounds :(

this pill should have been handed out in the theater after "bride wars."

Surgical patients have been having the memory of the surgery "erased' with the anesthesia for years. This may help with phobias, but must be watched for effects.adverse

It might actually be helpful for PTSD cases. There are some people who have memories that are so painful, they can barely continue to function.

This is scary

Why not smoke Marijuana, has the same effect sometimes :)

gee what will pills do next!

no!!! as someone who advocates dealing with your problems and not being cowardly about them, this is an awful idea!!
i still believe in the good ol' fashion 'talking cure'

Eternal Sunshine, anyone?
