The Carlat Psychiatry Blog contacted psychiatrist Prof C. Lindsay DeVane about an article on antidepressant drug interactions he apparently co-authored for the medical journal CNS Spectrums. In reply, DeVane noted that the article was ghost-written on behalf of a drug company and denounced it as "piece of commercial crap" and 'ridiculous', 'inaccurate' and 'simplistic'.

In this case, it seems the article was written without DeVane's agreement, so it's refreshing to see someone disown it, rather than simply add it as another gold star to their CV.
