Some hippie doc gave me weed for some headaches, I ended up sucking Dick in a back alley for cocaine not three days later.

I took a couple Primidone back when I was 19 without knowing what they were or how they worked.

Spent 3 miserable days before the wore off. They short circuit the electrical impulses in your muscles to help stop epileptic seizures. A truly horrible feeling.

Was the last time I ever took something without consulting a PDR or the internet.

Paranoid hallucinations. It was a specific type of cough syrup, but it freaked me the hell out.

Me too. Cough syrup with Codeine. I was home alone and was convinced I would die if I went to sleep. I sat in bed all night curled up in a ball, paranoid & terrified of sleeping.

Bactrim taught me I was allergic to sulfa. I looked like Carmen Basilio after his fight with Sugar Ray Robinson.

Google for those saying, WHO??????????

Took a prescribed antihistamine and had hiccups for nearly 24 hours. Those can become Unbelievably uncomfortable btw.

I had to take some pills for a MRSA infection I had.

The side affect was about 4 boils in total. As if that wasn't bad enough, one of the boils formed right next to my butt-hole. Pain for days, but when it finally popped, it was one of the best feelings I've ever experienced.

TL:DR I have peed almost every color of the rainbow


I had kidney stones so large that they had branched out like coral in my kidney. It had to be surgically cut out of my back,

So it was not unusual for me have urine the color of red koolaid . It could also just be a normal color.

Then they gave me meds that turned my urin a vivid shade of orange. It was so orange that it looked like dye.

Another med they gave me caused blue urine but i had an episode of gross hematuria (visible blood in urine) so my urine sample then were purple.

Another one they put me on made me pee green (and it was around St Paddy's Day so that was fun actually.

**The reason for the weird colors is the dyes help see how much of the med is in their urinary tract system. They have an anesthetic affect to stop the agonizing burning of trying to pee, or the pain of those sharp stones shredding thru your Urinary tract system.

Celebrex made me absolutely panicked. I had to stop taking after two days because it was doing next to nothing for my pain.

Adderall gave me concussion type symptoms. Head ache, blurred vision, nausea, excessively tired, weak. I took one after picking up my prescription. I had to pull over and take a nap.

Singulair. Vivid dreams. Dreams you remember. Not exactly nightmares but not pleasant. I stopped it when the nosebleeds started.

Ticlid. After an angioplasty in 1997 it shut down my immune system. I was told I would need a bone marrow transplant and would not survive it.

I am one of two known people in my age group who survived without a transplant. The other is in France.
