A friend started taking a quit smoking med and had, what he called, vivid, realistic and super scary nightmares.

My sister-in-law said she had some very vivid and weird dreams on Chantix. She used it for two weeks and had to stop, but it was enough for her to quit smoking.

Chantix, that's it. I couldn't remember the name of it. I'm glad it worked for her.

My sister had a friend who was recently divorced. This friend took a new med that was supposed to help with her arthritis.  She took the dose and went to sleep alone. She didn't wake up. Allergic reaction. I've often wondered if she hadn't been divorced maybe her husband or children might have saved her

Since then I've vowed to take any new meds while awake for the day and to also take them in the city ( closer to a hospital ) before going home to the country.  ( Because you never know )

Awe thank you. Might as well take the pill in the pharmacy and then shop.
Good to have a trained pharamist around.

I have a relative. Young kid at the time . He waa taking a powerful acne pill. Chatted with his mom and she told me he was depressed and suicidal. I recommended that he stop that pill cause it was the only thing that had changed with him . He did and improved. A week later it was all over the news about the bad side effect of that pill.

I  have an extreme reaction to antihistamines. My eyes become dilated, and will stay that way for days. My blood pressure will drop. I will get tunnel vision, and I will pass out.

It kills me when the commercials tell people not to take their medication if they are allergic to it. I always thing, "No duh."

I know of a gentleman who took a medication for his heart and wound up dieing from lever failure. His family is still in a legal battle after 8 years.

I am very in tune to my husband's body. I noticed for about three nights in a row he would have extreme tachycardia while sleeping. I mean his heart would be pumping out of his chest! And fast! Then it would slow then fast again. I discovered he can not take 2 trazadone but he can take one safely.

For me I am almost positive taking Yaz, Yazmin, and Ocella caused my gallbladder problems.
