Neurontin, for example, was initially approved only for epilepsy. But, after a slow start, it grew to become a $US2.3 billion ($3 billion today) blockbuster for its owner, Pfizer, in 2003.] About 80 per cent of the prescriptions were for unapproved uses - conditions like bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, restless legs syndrome, hot flashes, migraines and tension headaches, ... In fact, Neurontin has become a sort of all-purpose restorative for chronic discomfort of almost any type - yet there is almost no good published evidence that it works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How sweet to move at summer's eve By Clyde's meandering stream,  When Sol in joy is seen to leave ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54328]]></link><description><![CDATA[How sweet to move at summer's eve By Clyde's meandering stream,  When Sol in joy is seen to leave   The earth with crimson beam;    When islands that wandered far     Above his sea couch lie,      And here and there some gem-like star       Re-opes its sparkling eye.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility... in the final analysis, the one quality that all successful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibility... in the final analysis, the one quality that all successful people have... is the ability to take on responsibility.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1898]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since people are going to be living longer and getting older, they'll just have to learn how to be babies longer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1898</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We challenged New Trier a little bit in the second game.

What is the Church for? If that is not kept in mind, the lay ministry, about which so much is being said at present, remains on the level of a many-sided activity in which the self-assertion of the laity threatens to be more evident than a new manifestation of the Church in modern society. The responsible participation of the laity in the discharge of the Church's divine calling is not primarily a matter of idealism and enthusiasm or organizational efficiency, but a new grasp and commitment to the meaning of God's redemptive purpose with mankind and with the world in the past, the present, and the future: a purpose which has its foundation and inexhaustible content in Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was quite interesting but I didn't come for this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28926]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was quite interesting but I didn't come for this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6266]]></link><description><![CDATA[My biological work convinced me that the One who was declared dead by Nietzsche, and silent by Sartre, actually is very much alive and speaking to us through all things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
