re: Strangest side effect you had from a prescribed drug?

Took an anti-depressant years ago (don't remember which) that changed my handwriting. It freaked me out. It was like waking up with that foreign accent condition but with handwriting. It never went back.

Lexapro made it really hard for me to swallow at first. I nearly choked a few times when drinking/eating. It sucked.

It was very difficult to ejaculate on Effexor.

Fortunately I didn’t develop female breasts from Risperdal

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

The medicine I took for tuberculosis did this to me.

And yes, somehow I managed to catch tuberculosis and no, I don't work with patients.

I'd say the worst "side effect" was not being able to drink alcohol for four months. Once I was able to, I ended up puking twice within a month. Hadn't puked from drinking in years.

am i the only one that love vivid dreams.

Got on some BP meds and I have had to piss a ridiculous amount when I was figuring out the dosage.

I probably pissed 15 times in a 8 hour day. Drinking water and coffee in a training class but still.

And this was eyeballs are floating need to pee

Ended up passed out in my own throw up in my car. Ambulance took me to hospital. Thought I had an aneurism in stomach.

A few years ago I got diagnosed with h1n1 (didn't really feel *that* bad, but w/e) and they put me on Tamiflu.

I think the next day I started having visual hallucinations. A stream of sparks and lights traced around my vision like a snake or the old arcade game Centipede, pretty much making me blind in one eye (this happened while at the mall, lawl).

I thought it was having a stroke or something, but then the thought occurred to me to google the side effects of Tamiflu and viola, I wasn't the only person this had happened to. Some poor bastards had temporary psychosis and shite.

My peripheral vision was fricked up for a few days. Next time I'll stick with NyQuil.

1997-98. Paxil.

My dong transformed into a titanium weapon of mass destruction that gave zero fricks.

shite - wonder if I have any refills left?

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.

Melatonin is not a drug and not prescribed by a doctor.

Your body naturally produces melatonin. It is what tells your brain it is time to shut down and go night night. You can buy melatonin anywhere you can buy vitamins and minerals.
