There are no such thing as side effects from a drug - only the effect of the drug on you. There is so much subliminal messages in our culture that when we take a drug and experience a bad reaction to it - we blame it on ourselves - ie, we must have had a bad reaction to the drug.
I hope everyone realises that some drugs manufactured during research, after the guinea pigs reported something else - was then created and sold to be a "wonder drug" - Viagra being a case in point.
I want to banish the words of "possible side effects" from all prescription medications; and replace it with: "Effects of this drug may include the following".
I was reading this document* and it made me mad because even though it was against SSRI's etc - it still classes symptoms of the drugs as SIDE EFFECTS.
