Side effects
Grandad October 16th, 2008
I hate medication.
My philosophy is to try to avoid any medication I can’t grow myself in a pot.
Unfortunately, as the clock ticks on, the old body is beginning to slow down. Bits are starting to drop off. I have rising damp in my basement. My cylinders are worn, and I’m starting to leak oil.
The Doc put me on some new medication recently. They are big blue capsules that look more like a horse enema than anything else.
He prescribed them to counteract the effects of the red tablets, that were making me walk sideways.
The red tablets were to counteract the side effects of the little yellow ones that turned my pee green.
The yellow ones were to counteract the side effects of the big white ones that gave me headaches.
The white ones are to counteract the side effects of the big blue capsules.
All medication seems to have side effects, and this annoys me. What is worse is that they never seem to be able to predict what the side effects will be. [“Please note – this medication may cause elation and/or depression”].
On the bit of paper that comes with the blue capsules, it lists one of the side effects as “this medication may cause compulsive gambling”! What? How can medication cause compulsive gambling?
That has to be a lie.
I’ll bet anyone €500 that they made that up.
