The Best New Meds Are Here

Hey, great news! There are some new meds out and while some are by prescription only, others are over-the-counter and will help with a lot of our health problems. Everything can be solved!

With a few side-effects, to be sure: May cause dizziness. May cause sleepwalking with no memory of the event. May cause internal bleeding. May cause depression. May cause seizures. May cause death. May cause suicide.

Someday, when things are dull, I’ll have to write down all the “may” effects on a few of these meds and post them here. A friend of mine says, “Who would ever want to take these things with all the bad stuff that could happen to you?”

Well, here are the warnings with just one of the meds I have to take twice a day from now until whenever:

Dizziness; Fatigue; Drowsiness; Mental and physical slowing or delays; Nervousness; Upper respiratory infection; Coordination problems; Taste changes; Confusion; Difficulty with concentration or attention; Nausea; Diarrhea; Memory loss; Anxiety; Language or speech problems; Changes in gait; Insomnia; Mood problems; Decreased sense of touch; Abdominal and joint pain; Mood problems; Erectile dysfunction; Hair loss; Hemorrhoids; Depression; Aggressiveness; Chest pain; Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath; Hallucinations or paranoia; Vision problems; Blood clots; Suicidal thinking or behavior.

Well, not while I'm in a marathon or walking a straight line in a DUI checkpoint.

As in Viagra......

''If it still has an effect after four hours, call your doctor''''
