InB4 Viagra for your heart

I once took a med (forget for what). Took the first dose Friday night and when I woke Saturday morning, I had no sense of taste or smell. I didn't take my next dose and called the doctor. He was a little shocked and didn't know it was a side effect (I had to look it up first).

He simply told me to stop taking it until my senses came back and start taking it again, 1/2 doses first couple doses.

It was fine after that.

The skin on the palms and bottom of my feet completely pealed like I was a snake shedding its skin from an Antibiotic I was prescribed..

Zoloft made my dick soft while beating off mid stroke. Like a Switch.

Zoloft made me feel so miserable thay I stopped taking it and ended up suicidal. Learned the hard way you have to wean off depression medication. Very useful.

Oh.. and it appears that coffee makes me constipated.

Spent three days on a movie set chugging espresso every few hours this past week and didn’t have the urge to take a dump at all.

I normally don’t drink coffee.

A sedative medication that I was given prior to surgery one time caused INTENSE itching of my butthole.

The itch was completely confined to my butthole, and it was miserable.

It felt like a thousand ants were going to town on my sphincter.

So weird and uncomfortable. Don't mind me nurse as I ferociously rub my itchy butthole against the stretcher.

Zoloft. Doctor said it was supposed to help me sleep and it made me simultaneously hot & cold, wired & tired, hungry & full all at the same time. It messed with my speech to like I was unable to form coherent sentences. Screw that, I lasted about a week and never touched another SSRI.

SO is exquisitely sensitive to medications. If there's a side effect, she will have it. She was prescribed something or other one time, and the Dr told her, "there's an extremely rare condition that starts with a rash and is potentially fatal. It'll never happen, but we're required to tell you about it." Sure enough, she ends up in the ER with a rash.

Paranoid hallucinations. It was a specific type of cough syrup, but it freaked me the hell out. Like balled up in a corner, seeing things, sweating, and terrified.

Took Dilaudid for some major dental work and happily announced that I wanted to "f the shite out of" my best friend's wife (who thankfully is not my type since my wife was in the room with me).

I took melatonin a while back and experienced vivid dreams where the New Orleans Saints were huddling around my bed trying to wake me up. Pretty weird stuff.

Sleep paralysis and "brain shocks" from antidepressants.

Happened to me after an IM rocephin injection. Freaked me out when I picked at a loose piece of skin and I came away with a piece of skin as big as my hand
