On Painkillers
I was recently prescribed a painkiller called Imigran. Here’s an excerpt of the side-effects listed on the instruction leaflet:
Pain, sensations of tingling, heat, heaviness, pressure or tightness. Flushing, dizziness, feelings of weakness. Fatigue and drowsiness.
There you have it folks — a painkiller that’s also a paincauser!
I decided that GlaxoSmithKline was just covering its bases by including all that, and there would be minimal side effects, but I was wrong. I took it, and experienced almost all of the above list, and never touched the package again.
