Or how about medications that have very severe withdrawal symptoms, but they don't tell you that on the bottle or the papers.

Google : Effexor withdrawal.

Stuff is like quitting a major street drug.

I quit Effexor a few months ago without problems. One of the lucky few I be...

I remember the meds I got from when I injured my kidney drunk had a warning "In rare and extreme cases may cause Kidney and Liver failure"

Or how one of the side effects of antidepressants is suicide.

Yeah I had an ex on Lithium once to control her mood swings and one of the side effects was mood swings/irritability..

Labels are screwy

Those on anti-depressents are more likely to commit suicide than those who are not. This is not a side-effect of the meds, but an issue with the sample population.

If you were suicidal before the medication, you can't consider suicide as a side-effect of the meds.

Why to go, BS media.

So was that why my kidney medication had a kidney failure warning...since people on it are more likely to have failing kidneys?

Amen! Every time I hear that disclaimer/ warning about an "erection lasting more than four hours" I have to say "HA ! If I get a boner lasting more than 30 minutes I'm calling some professionals I know and we're gonna have a party !!!!"

No one under 50 has any idea how much planning goes into boners at our age.
