so, does anyone else laugh hysterically at the drug commercials that go on and on about the side effects that their drug may have on you?

The first time I heard similar was a lawyer’s commercial. I’ll never forget it was a medication I was on off label. I was doing my nails and heard, “have you tried to commit suicide since taking..” I was like, what did they just say??

I was taking it for nerve damage. It was given for depression or anxiety.
@MellyMel22 i always think about Robin Williams. they say the stuff he was on caused thoughts of suicide and depression

@LILY61 Sadly many do. My friend took her life b/c of meds she was given that shouldn’t have been mixed.
@MellyMel22 i am sorry. that is terrible. i almost got murdered at the hospital where i was having tests done. they prescribed an ointment and a pill. luckily the pharmacist noticed and went nuts over it. he couldn't believe that his hospital would prescribe two different meds with the same pain killer/muscle relaxant in them. he said i would have died.

Yes and I just shake my head. Many of the side affects are worse than the ailment. 🤦🏼‍♀
I'm glad I don't ingest any.

Side effects seem like your body saying it has been poisoned.
@Magenta i have tried everything

@LILY61 Have you tried deep breathing exercises or beet juice, apricots and exercise?
Mine always runs a bit high, but these things and more can help.
@Magenta i have tried everything...all of the natural methods but to no avail

Anti-depressants are always the best. "Once you've taken this drug and gone white water rafting and mountain climbing with your friends you might have feelings of wanting to off yourself"
@SpectralMourning seriously, if you are on anti depressants, you won't be able to do any of those things
you can get a pill now for dry mouth... from taking to many pills.

and this is where humanity is :)

I dont laugh but it makes me definitely not want to take them. I heard once from a commercial that the product might cause internal bleeding as a side effect for depression...like naw i would rather be sad
@empanadas i don't even understand how much money these drug companies are paying to have their drugs sold if they cause so much damage?

I sure do….
Im like “good gawd”
if you experience death or death like symptoms....... well, I'm out. ya just lost a potential customer. LOL
@MayorOfCrushtown i know, they actual say "May cause a heart attack or stroke!" Why take it then?

Beheheh here's a snarky ai opinion

And they're ALWAYS awful, the names too. i cackle at them everytime.😂
@DancingStarGoddess when it is obvious like "nodoze" i laugh. but some must be named after a person..."the John Smith drug to help you feel average..."
@LILY61 I remember first hearing the one "halfyeara, the treatment you take just twice a year!" And my face when I thought about it for a sec.
not a drug, but relevant ....

"do not taunt Happy Fun Ball ..." 🤣
