Side Effects May Include.....

Every time I turn on the TV I see another commercial for some "miracle" drug that treats anything from depression to foot odor. It's incredible to listen to the side effects they list.
These side effects may include nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea, headaches, sore throat, viral infection, blurry vision, loss of vision, delusions of grandeur, impotence, sterility, numbness, growth of an extra finger, baldness, breast growth in men, tennis elbow, dry mouth, indigestion, cramps, mild to severe coughing, cold sweats, hot sweats, insomnia, narcolepsy, hemorrhoids, love letters to people you don't know, alcoholism, drug abuse, eating disorders, loss of appetite, gain of appetite, constipation, suicidal thoughts and death.
But at least you wont be depressed anymore. That is, until you experience one or some of these side effects. So much for the "miracle" drug. It will be a miracle if there aren't any side effects at all.

Happy Thursday,

Blake

  1. Cheers! that is so funny because it really is true. In this day in age where everything can be cured with a pill, you have to take a pill to cure you of the side effects of another pill and so on.

    When I was 19 I took the Depro shot as a form of Birth Control. They failed to mention it has been known to cause major depression in some females. 3 days later I was a mess! so i went back to the Dr. and she acted like it was no big deal... "we just treat it with Prozac" LOL!!! how's that for fucked up!

  2. It definitely doesn't give you much confidence hearing a doctor say that haha. After you take the cures to the cure you wouldn't be able to get a job that requires any kind of security access if they require a urine test.
