Legal drugs cause disturbing side effects!

If we ever notice, every time we bring a pile of medicines home, we bring along a long list of possible side effects of those medicines. But keeping the treatment to our ailments in mind, we decide against the side-effects and go on taking the risk every time we swallow those pills to get cured.

Quite interestingly, I ran across a blog where some legal drugs were listed with some of the most strange and scary side effects that led to think that if I ever read those side-effects on any medicine that I am taking, I would prefer living the ailment instead of risking myself with those kind of severe side-effects.

Here are those 9 legal drugs and their scary side-effects!

1. MIRAPEX – For “Restless Leg Syndrome”

* “…hallucinations may occur…”

* “…increased gambling, sexual, or other overpowering urges…”

2. ABILIFY – Bipolar disorder, Schizophrenia

* “Coma or death…And trouble swallowing.”

3. ALLI – Weight loss aid

* These changes may include gas with oily discharge, an increased number of bowel movements, an urgent need to have them and an inability to control them.”

4. FLOMAX – For enlarged prostrate (mainly frequent urination)

* Runny nose, dizziness, and decrease in semen.

5. VERAMYST – “Treats allergy symptoms with a gentle fine mist that is scent -free.”

* “Nasal sores, glaucoma, cataracts and nasal fungal infection”

* More disturbingly, Veramyst used to say, “The way VERAMYST works is not entirely understood.”

6. ORTHO-NOVUM – “Birth control pill”

* “…benign but dangerous liver tumors. These benign liver tumors can rupture and cause fatal internal bleeding. In addition, some studies report an increased risk of developing liver cancer.”

7. ADVAIR – “Asthma treatment”

* “Asthma related death”

8. CHANTIX – “Anti-smoking aid”

* “Nausea, sleep disturbance, constipation, flatulence, and vomiting.”

9. ACCUTANE – “Acne treatment”

* Depressed mood, trouble concentrating, sleep problems, crying spells, aggression or agitation, changes in behavior, hallucinations, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;

* Sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;

* Blurred vision, sudden and severe headache or pain behind your eyes, sometimes with vomiting

* Loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);

* Severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, fast heart rate;

* Fever, chills,, body aches, flu symptoms, purple spots under your skin, easy bruising or bleeding. Joint stiffness, bone pain or fracture

* Severe diarrhea, rectal bleeding, black, bloody, or tarry stools.

So, as the last one goes, you will be at risk of having all these side-effects which more or less cover dysfunction of almost all organs of your body but hey, here’s the good news; you won’t have pimples anymore!

    I know someone who uses that Acne Drug, and who gets many of those symptoms. The most common one is the depression and behavior symptoms. But it has cut down his acne by nearly 90% and despite the depression, he still SWEARS by the drug. We've tried to get him off it and his response is,

    "I'll be even more depressed if I have acne, so I might as well take the drug and be depressed from the drug rather than have acne depression"

    Crazy is probably not the word!

    My god, well I hope the other 10% acne goes away soon that he gets out of this depression but true, crazy is probably not the word, our helpless dependency it is! :-)
