    Lots of times the side effects are worse than whatthey’re suppose to help you for.

    This sort of thing is actually fairly typical, in part because the body may over-react to a drug. So, a painkilling drug might put you in more pain if your body overreacts to it.

    I once worked with a man that has a blood disease, the only effect seems to be it makes his toenails white. He told me that when he asked the Doctor about it the Doctor said, “I have a pill that will cure you in 3 months, trouble is, it will give you diarrhea for 6 months.”

    His answer was. “I’ll keep the white toenails.”

    Try cannabis. The only side effect is the munchies.

    “But don’t worry, we have medicines to treat the side-effects and medicines to treat their side-effects and with luck, I’ll be providing you medicine for the rest of you life because you won’t realize the initial problem has ended.”
