Killer side effects!

Whilst watching commercials I can't help but laugh sometimes at the ridiculous ads about drugs and their side effects. I decided to highlight the drug Prozac which is an antidepressant to treat well, depression. Also prescribed for eating, obsessive compulsive and panic disorders. The ads on TV take up all the time to tell us what side effects could occur when taking their drug. I guess they have to say it or they could get sued. I guess they have to say almost any side effect they can think of so they won't get sued. If your disease won't kill ya, your pill might. Check this out.

less serious side effects

• drowsiness, dizziness, weakness
• runny nose, sore throat, headache, flu symptoms
• nausea, diarrhea, changes in appetite
• weight changes; decreased sex drive, impotence, or difficulty having an orgasm
• dry mouth, increased sweating

serious side effects

• seizure (convulsions)
• tremors, shivering, muscle stiffness or twitching
• a red, blistering, peeling skin rash; problems with balance or coordination
• agitation, confusion, sweating, fast heartbeat

If you ask me every one of these side effects seem to cause every disorder it is prescribed for.
