10/10. I guess being a certified pharm tech probably helps.

10/10

The only one I’ve ever taken is Paxil, and I never even knew that that was a side effect of it! It’s amazing to me what the government considers an “illegal drug”, but then they let these types of medications become all too available.

7/10. i knew the ambien one FOR SURE because i take that and yeah… that side effect sometimes happens. more commonly i do things without considering the consequences, like cutting my own bangs or engaging in sexually explixit conversations with strangers (that was a strange night) and then having a vague dream-like memory of it the next day. sometimes other people have to remind me of what i’ve done.
but i haven’t stopped taking it, because it works great.

Wow I got 8 out of 10! I don’t think I would have ever guessed Alli if I wasn’t taking it though.

Wow, did I ever suck at that. Only 4/10 (i.e. the really obvious ones: Alli, Levitra, Rogaine, and Frontline Plus).

Not even Topamax, which I’ve been taking for a little over a year.

10/10 with a coin flip for the last two. I work in natural supplements so many of these are well known. What isn’t well known is that since the FDA rushes these to market so fast, all of those side-effects could possibly show up for any of the prescriptions. They’d just take it off the market after big pharma made their hundreds of millions and say… “My bad.”

10/10. I am a veterinarian, so I’d feel a little embarrassed if I’d scored any less.

By the way, what they say about Accutane is very true and very serious. This drug is a retinoid compound used to treat skin disorders such as Pemphigus. It can cause intense anxiety and depression in some patients. If you take this, be vigilant.
