    does having a sales assessment e-mailed to you to take mean that your resume has met OMP basic standards?

    I got a phone interview about 2.5 weeks after I completed the sales assessment - had left it for dead. I think its a positive start - more than most get I'm sure! Good Luck.

    Any info on working for Ortho McNeil? I am interviewing for a primary care rep position and am wondering about the culture, realistic earnings potential, etc.

    I worked for Ortho for almost two years. They really suck. I've been in pharma for a while, and they are the worst. I wouldn't work for them if I were you. I sold Levaquin and Topamax, which were great drugs, but everything else about this company is bassakwards. Just trying to save you some grief.

    What the world is coming down the pipeline? No pain drugs for sure, Pre mature ejaculatory drug is just another SSRI and it actually has worse side effects than marketed SSRI's, so why bother?

    Is this new drug (for pre mature ejaculation) for children with precocious puberty or for premature ejaculation?

    It's nice to see that our sales reps are more smarter den da competitioners.

    NO, I have been with this company for a while and it truly is losing it's focus on sales and becoming a diversity experiment.

    We hire'em all, and even promote them, even if they are incompetent, if fact, especially if they are incompetent!

    Remember to stay focused on the message, because that's all we have. No new drugs, no new studies, and and bunch of sales reps w/ 1" willies.
    Oh by the way, I banged my DM last night at a Holiday Inn Express and I saved $10 on my car insurance.

    Fuck yeah. We went to a gay bar last night and rubbed our ears on the bathroom floor so we would look like a UFC fighter. I then bent him over the filthy AIds infected urinal and gave him a TAPOUT of my own if you know what I mean. I shot my mule juice into the air and about 14 fags from the new Ultram ER brand team appeared out of nowhere and ate my love juice like a mother bird feeding its young. It was more beautiful than last years layoffs.

    I am a 31-year-old male who went to the doctor for prostatitis, which is a common problem in men my age. I sit in a chair all day for my job, so sitting does not help the problem. I went to the doctor the first part of December. He put me on Levaquin 750 mg once a day. I started it on a Friday. That entire weekend I was very nauseated. About a week later I noticed my right Lat muscle was sore. It was weird because I had not worked out in 2 weeks, as I was gone for Thanksgiving. I body build, and knew it was a totally different pain than a "good" sore muscle. The next thing I know my joint in my shoulder was hurting, then it moved to my left shoulder joint.
    I went for my follow up visit to the specialty doctor and spoke with the Nurse Practioner. He prescribed me 2 more weeks of Levaquin, over the holidays until my follow up visit on 1/6/06. I told him I was having pain down the backs of my upper thighs, butt, and joints of my shoulders. He said my condition would have nothing to do with shoulder pain.
    Over the next week I got to where it hurt to get in and out of bed. The joints in my fingers and toes started hurting. Then the joints in my ankles and wrists were aching. I had piercing pains in my muscles coming from nowhere all over. My jaws started aching like I had the flu. All of this is very off and on. My left thumb joint almost ruputred. My digestive tract is all out of order. Too may anti biotics kills all the good bacteria in your body.
    I have been off the Levaquin since 12/26/05. I took 27 days of the antibiotic. I had been doing some research on the Internet, and I finally told my doctor to stop the medicine. He then switched me over to Bactrim until I went for my follow up visit with the specialist. I spoke with the doctor this time and not the NP. He said the joint aches, etc...was from "Levaquin poisoning." He said the adverse reaction happens in 2 out of 99 people.
    I went to my primary care doctor last Thursday, who originally prescribed the Levaquin. He ran blood tests. My CBC's were fine, but my liver enzymes were elevated. He thinks it could be from the Levaquin combined with the 2,400 mg’s of Ibuprofen I was taking (which HE told me to take). I was also taking 4 Ultracet pills a day. I already take anti-anxiety medicine. It was a total of over 20 pills a day.
    Once I found out about the liver enzymes I stopped taking the Ibuprofen (MY doing). He didn’t even tell me to stop it until I suggested it to him. He said maybe I should cut back.
    Since last Monday I have had a lot less joint aches. It has been very minor, but when it hits it hits hard. It will then go away as fast as it hit. I am having more nausea than I was having when I was taking the medication. I now have a kidney stone. This Levaquin has ruined the last two months of my life and is still affecting me to a degree. Pharma companies that sell this crap are evil.

    If you read about the drug Ketek you will find 3 cases in Charlotte, NC one resulting in death and one of them in liver failure...almost dying. The 51 year old female that had to have a liver transplant due to this antibiotic is my mothers best friend. She is an attorney in the area. She is now on 23 medications. All I can say, is what goes around comes around. I will be telling everyone about Levaquin and I believe in due time it will be taken off the market.
    I believe every person will help with the long-term effect of getting this drug off the market and helping others.

    Hey ASSJOCKEY! In case no one told you, you were exceeding the recommended daily dose of acetominophin by about a factor of 3. That would mean that your problems would be yours and your physician. I guess you're gonna have to find someone else to sue to make your instant million. Take some Ketek and post on their board, maybe they might care, idiot! [​IMG]

    Hey, fuck face...the acetominophin dose was given to me by my doctor. The only reason I was taking it was because my tendons felt like they were about to rip into shreds when I walked, etc...this was due to the LEVAQUIN...even the Uro specialist told me this. Can you not read you dumb fuck? No wonder there are problems with ADR's in people. You can't even read the fucking side effects out to the docs. I mean a pussy is one thing, but a dumb pussy is another. By the way, since you can't read...I already posted I am the top producer in my industry...31 and literally retired. I don't need a law suit to make money you idiot.
