Favorite Side Effects

Below are a few of the best "side effects" patients have listed as to why they do not want a particular drug.
  1. Ambien: "It makes me drowsy" (Isn't that the purpose??)
  2. Morphine: "I see my dead relatives and it creeps me out." (This is valid...)
  3. Zofran (an anti-nausea med that does not make your loopy like phenergen): "It doesn't do to me what I want." -> These people always want the phenergen....

Some of side effects listed that are funny, but I don't remember the drug associated:

  1. "That makes my teeth hurt."
  2. "I felt like someone was holding me down." (I did not ask whether there were restraints involved.)
  3. It gave me anal leakage. (yeah...)

There are a few gems for your enjoyment.
