If you watch alot of American news like I do no doubt you see lots of pharmaceutical commercials, apparently lots of people that watch too much news need lots of medicating, I am always amazed at the long list of side effects that take up the last 2 minutes of the commercials, that is because they have to spend as much time telling about the bad stuff as they do the good stuff, and there is usually lots of bad stuff.
A few side effects that really got my attention over the years were the Restless Leg Syndrome medication that listed “gambling, sexual or intense urges” as possible side effects, seriously, I don’t have Restless Leg Syndrome but these side effects really tempted me to want to try this stuff, sexual and intense urges are why people used to do drugs lol. Another was the anti-depressant drug that might give you “uncontrollable bowel movements”, this is crazy, what is more depressing than uncontrollably shitting yourself right?
Anyway I see a new term for the side effect “might cause death” is now “might cause fatal events”, might cause death doesn’t sound so great but fatal events almost sounds fun, like something you might do on a weekend with friends and family.
