Side Effects Are Fun!
So, I get prescribed some drugs for the first time in probably 8 years today. I'm reading the prescription info, and am nice and entertained by the side effect listing(s).
"Side effects that may occur while taking this medicine include nausea, tiredness, headache, vomiting, or mild diarrhea." So...if anyone is wondering where I'll be for a week, I'll be asleep on the shitter, with a trash can in front of me. |

*Every* prescription drug comes with that warning.
Those reactions are your system's way of saying "get this foreign shit outta here." |

At what point is it not worth taking the medication because the side effecys are worse than the illness it's supposed to cure?

There was a parody ad on TV a couple years ago that had some good side effects:
gigantic eyeball, seeing the Prince of Darkness, having children with the head of a golden retriever, etc. It was funnier then.

I saw one on tv the other day that had death as a possible side effect, which they just listed in the middle of the others like it was no big deal:
"This product may cause blurred vision, nausea, death, headache..." Crazy. ~tk

My favorite side effect is "altered mental state".
Just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling all over.

For me, it's aspirin. I'd much rather deal with the headache I've got now than the nausea and upset stomach I'll have if I take the aspirin...

Is that sexual dysfunction as in 'swallowing this pill may turn you into a woman' or as in 'swallowing this pill plus viagra will put you at half mast'? |

Wasn't there a commercial making fun of this that said one of its side effects was "hot dog fingers"?
