Whenever I see a commercial for a medication, the side effects really stick out. >VG<

As in: Whether I need the medication or not, I can't get over how bad it's side effects are.



*An anti-diarrhea/irritable bowel syndrome medication may cause heart attack or stroke!



*A sleeping pill may cause "night-time driving with memory loss of the event". You get in your car in your sleep and drive and then don't remember doing it!!!



*An acne treatment may cause breakouts and irritation if exposed to sunlight, wind, heat, OR cold AND you should wear protective clothing!



*Any product containing "Camphor" may cause Seizures in children!



*An anti-depressant may cause impotence, loss of bladder control, suicidal thoughts/actions (like... you know, the opposite of "anti-depressed"), Glaucoma, Seizures, and Cancer!



*Diabetes medication may cause Cancer!



*High cholesterol medication may cause Cancer!



*Smoking marijuana (recreational as well as medical, sorry) may cause Cancer, too. Oh, and "disruptive brain development" and "psychiatric disorders". Yeah, I love when people tell me how "safe" it is. But that's another topic for another time. One that probably wouldn't be allowed on this site anyway.

Honestly, some of the side effects seem worse than whatever they're trying to fix. But, we don't have those problems, so who knows, maybe people suffer so much it'd be better to risk it. I know some acne meds can cause suidical thoughts/attempts. Wow. Thanks for sharing.  
Date: 6/28/2009 1:06:00 AM  From Authorid: 43991    Oh gosh. Yeah.. My anti-seizure medicine causes SO many side effects. A few of the ones I have include making me not able to sweat.. which causes super quick over heating which causes us epileptics to have SEIZURES. Uhh.. right?! Anti-anxiety pill I'm on.. if I miss a dose I am more anxious then I ever was OFF the medicine. I get depression because of one MISSED pill. Severe mood swings. I mean.. I go nuts.. (I was so low I nearly needed to be in a psych ward one time!) So going off this medicine is so scary I may need rehabilitation... WHAT? I would have never taken it had I known it would effect me like this!!! My anxiety was never that bad to begin with. Crazy. Just crazy.
I could go on and on about the side effects of medicines. lol. They drive me nuts. ...Literally. lol!
  
Date: 6/28/2009 4:14:00 AM  From Authorid: 16916    I agree totally..it's like I'd rather deal with my original illness   
Date: 6/28/2009 7:33:00 AM  From Authorid: 21764    oh man.. i am right there with ya.. its really hard for me to trust western medicine anymore.. ugh.  
Date: 6/28/2009 8:41:00 AM  From Authorid: 30621    This is true. Remember my daughter, when she still lived with us, would read the warnings of every persciption medication she got....and she would always suffer at least one. My husband and I finaly started hiding the druggists warning information from her, so that if she had one of the side effects we would know it wasnt all in her head.  
Date: 6/28/2009 8:49:00 AM  ( Admin )   Please take our medication, it works and you will be in heaven (soon literally) but there is some tiny issues.

Some people might actually end up in the other place or wishing they were in the other place.

Some other people might start sending people to heaven or the other place.

On rare occasions you might experience the desire to eat dirt, lick a sidewalk or even kiss a fire hyrant but that is a normal reaction and poses no real problems (for us).

If you experience a loss of memory for longer than you can remember why you lost your memory then we are safe from a lawsuit and everything is ok by us. Keep taking the medication if you can find it.

Oh yes.. one last item.. Our product doesn't actually help you in any way, it only helps you not know you have a problem which may include problems like bills, kids and no job. But that seems like more of positive reaction to us.

Tiny print that you can't read.

If you are in a coma for longer than 3 years then contact your Dr. at once but make sure he is on our payroll. Most are which, is why he gave you this medication so that shouldn't be a problem.

A friendly reminder.
Make sure to eat a pound of lard with every dozen pills or so they don't get stuck somewhere and kill you.

Also.. if your fish tastes funny it's not our fault, your body didn't process all of the mediation you ate and the rest went down the toilet into the environment and other people.

Thank you, your partner in health.

We care about you.

P.S. Don't buy Generics they cost less and we don't get anything from that.




Date: 6/28/2009 10:54:00 AM  From Authorid: 53836    and people wonder why I don't go to the doctor...the list of possible symptoms outway the cure...it's absolutely insane, and yet people still run to their dr. for the newest meds! All proof of the dumbing down of America's superb success!  
Date: 6/28/2009 11:00:00 AM  From Authorid: 53836    Radman definitely said it best...he's no fool!  
Date: 6/28/2009 11:13:00 AM  From Authorid: 22852    I am the 1% that suffers side effects of medication and I am here to tell you it is no fun. I think I like just living my life without all the "other" effects. LOL @}~~~  
Date: 6/28/2009 2:26:00 PM  From Authorid: 52489    Yes, I pay attention to this as well. What it tells me is that consumer demand is so high that drug companies are rushing medications onto the market, regardless of the side-effects. This is distressing enough, but the fact that the FDA is allowing it is even worse.  
Date: 6/28/2009 11:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 855    Yea seems like your better of dealing with what you have!!

Date: 6/29/2009 6:11:00 AM  From Authorid: 39321    I know right!!! I was watching a commercial for a genital herpes medication like ten seconds ago and it said "in some rare occurences, death" I was like... if I was the person needing that medication... I think I would take the herpes. Sometimes the side effects are so much more worse than the actual problem.  
Date: 6/29/2009 7:45:00 AM  From Authorid: 4144    seems like most of the time you are better off with what you have cause the side effects are worse!  
Date: 6/29/2009 8:33:00 AM  From Authorid: 62679    I agree, AND not only this but..every week there is a new commercial, "If you or a loved one consumed this drug and DIED, you may have a case..." etc, etc. It is scary and makes me not want to be on meds ever again...I take prenatals and that is it. And I am trying to just deal with my stress, and depression.  
Date: 6/29/2009 9:05:00 AM  From Authorid: 3277    i like the pill for enlarged prostates that may cause pregnancy.........  
Date: 6/29/2009 9:27:00 AM  From Authorid: 20296    i always, always research what i am taking. doctors like feeding pills without much regard to the 'taker'. I still believe they get kick backs from the companies...I do KNOW they get pens, pads and other little weird do-dads for just letting those reps in the door.  
Date: 6/29/2009 4:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 36901    I've seen medications that may cause promiscuity and gambling. RIGHT!  
Date: 6/29/2009 8:34:00 PM  From Authorid: 31048    Lol, I always notice all the side effects too. Especially since most commercials for medication these days spend most of the commercial talking about all the possible side effects. There's a certain sleeping pill that can cause "swelling of the tongue that may lead to choking and/or death." Good lord! What a horrible way to go!  
Date: 6/30/2009 9:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 63241    Whenever I see a commercial for prescription drugs my initial thought is "Who's paying for this expensive t.v. time? Answer: All of us". Every time a prescription drug is advertised, you can bet that each one of those pills costs about $10.00.
