Meds & Side-Effects

In 2006, it was reported that harmful reactions from some of the most common prescription drugs
send 700,000 Americans to the Emergency Room each year.

The 6 Most Unsettling Medication Side Effects

1) Alli
-gas with oily spotting (aka: "sharting" ones self)
-loose stools & more frequent stools that may be hard to control

2) Requip
-an usual urge to gamble
with the Internet Gambling Regulation Act having passed the house,
giving the government a stranglehold on the enterprise,
don't be surprised if this medication joins lithium in our public drinking water.
A retired doctor has a lawsuit pending accusing Requip of costing him $14 million in gambling debt.
-increased sexual urges or behaviors
(Roofies anyone?)

3) Propecia
-gynecomastia (aka: man-boobs, that lactate)

4) Accutane
-crying spells
-rectal bleeding
-bone fractures
-hepatitis
-psychosis
-hirsutism (excessive hairiness)
&
-herpes
which all adds up to: a day in the life of Ron Jeremy


5) Zoloft
-persistent painful erection
-ejaculation failure
occurred in 14% of the case studies

6) Levaquin
-phototoxicity
similar to undead vampires daylight exposure could leave you with 2nd-degree burns
