’Won’t happen to me.’ Famous last words.
Some of those warnings could say " this medication probably won’t kill you – but it could " – !!!
Why pharmaceutical as should be banned, like the smoking ads were.
We haven’t watched an ad on TV for over 20 years. When ads come on the TV gets muted and we read our books for 3 minutes. Ads are FOUL and annoying!
After listening to the list of side-effects I can’t understand why anyone would want to take that medicine. And yes, drug ads should go back to being banned as they once were. Too much selling and too little actual useful medication.
Some of the Ablify (Aripiprazole) Side Effects
Digestive tract distress, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, constipation, incontinence
Weight gain, increased appetite
Headache, dizziness, lightheadedness
Anxiety, agitation, restlessness, tremor, akathisia: uncontrollable urge to move or pace
Insomnia, fatigue, sedation
Dry mouth, excessive salivation, drooling
Blurred vision
Arthritis, muscle pain
Elevated cholesterol
Fever (a potentially life-threatening symptom requiring immediate medical attention)
Tardive dyskinesia, uncontrollable muscle movements, lip smacking, grimacing, neck twisting
Stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA)
Low blood pressure, especially when standing, dizziness
Diabetes, elevated blood sugar
Seizures
Irregular heart rhythms, palpitations,
Pancreatitis, gall bladder problems
Blood disorders

The side effects are worse than the disease.
One antidepressant they put me on had “increased risk of suicide” as a side effect — WTF?
