Title: How Ironic is this?
Post by Neekwa on Apr 3^rd, 2006, 5:47pm

First off while attempting to contact my physcian today I was informed that he was unavailable until tommorow. No biggie, but as I went to refill my prescription for a bottle of 120mg Verapamil. I read through the little patient info handbill you recieve with your prescription.

I noticed this under 'side effects and warnings'

The following side effects may occur -

flushing, nausea, constipation, dizziness, swelling of the hands, feet, or legs...

and get this - headaches! lol

Yup even suma the most simple of meds has about the same side effects listed. I like how hormone relpacement meds my doc THINKS I am takeing causes hair loss, bloating and a list of aweful side effects. I rather have hot flashes and moodyness then go bald and fat as a woman. I like how "everything" lists side effects causeing bloating and ha's.....nothin cuter then a chick with huge bald spots and so bloated ya gotta roll across the floor with a frickin ha and some nausia mixed in......too sexy for my meds Pam

Neekwa,

all the meds I've taken to prevent ch has "headaches" in their side effects list. I always thought that it's funny, in that ironic way. ;)

Wishing you PF time,
Sanna

I know how you feel.

It's known as ass covering insurance. Most side-effects are short-lived or not evident but then...... http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/achoo.gif
