Side effect of a sleeping pill.......... Drowsiness

[yvr girl]

OMG, a sleeping pill that makes you drowsy. Better think twice before you take it. :eyes:

[Critters2]

1. I love that

that they list drowsiness as a side effect for sleeping pills! Or that they tell you to seek help if you have a four hour erection from Viagara and the like.

How stupid do they think people are?

[Broken_Hero]

2. hmm, drowsiness...its not bad...:) nt

[Chan790]

5. The four-hour erection

is called a priapism and in rare cases, failure to treat promptly can lead to complications including the possibility of complete loss of erectile function permanantly. Also, it's supposedly extremely painful. They treat it by lancing your junk to let the blood out and the pressure normalize.:scared:

Priapism...It's no laughing matter. :puke:

7. I don't doubt that it's a problem

What I find chucklesome is that they feel the need to TELL you it's a problem. I mean, it just seems obvious. BUt then, I don't get erections, so what do I know?

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

11. Well, I can tell you I've never had a 4 hour erection.

But if I were taking viagra, were dumb, and did have a 4 hour erection, I might think that was "normal" when taking the pill.

[yvr girl]

8. Lancing it!

I don't even have one of those things and I'm icked out. Couldn't someone just call their mother or something...or take a cold shower.

[Chan790]

9. usually

but if it doesn't go down in time and under normal treatment, often it is because the increase in internal pressure is preventing the ability of the body to dialate the blood vessels, at which point more drastic measures are needed. :scared:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

14. Honestly, I don't know how they walk around with those things.

[Oeditpus Rex]

3. GAH! And I was just about to take one!

Thanks for letting me know. :scared:

[NMMNG]

4. I noticed that too and was like WTF?

Isn't that the whole purpose of a sleeping pill? :crazy:

[yvr girl]

6. Exactly

Isn't drowsiness proof that it's working?

[mduffy31]

10. Yes but given this country

you have to put that because some moron will take it and realize...hey this is supposed to make me sleep?

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. Wow! Who'd have thunk it?

:rofl: One of the side effects for one of the new urinary flow pills is increased urination. :eyes: I thought that was what was supposed to happen....

[Chan790]

13. Poorly thought -out urinary-flow commercial

I saw a commercial for Avodart one time, I think it must have only ran that one time, that started "Are you unhappy with the quality of your urination?"

I thought "Well, gee mister, I've never really thought about the quality of my urination. I guess I'm happy with it. It'd be really cool if I could put out house fires with it, run my car off the pressure or content, it was rainbow-colored or something though."

What kind of stupid question is that? I can see "Do you have problems urinating?" or "Do you not completely empty when urinating?" but "quality of urination" leaves a lot of gray area that Avodart just won't fix.

[NewWaveChick1981]

29. ROFL! I've seen that one too...

:rofl: :hi: "Quality of urination" means different things to different people. :P Just being able to urinate is a good thing for some people. I don't usually stop and think, "Was that a good pee, or did it lack an aesthetic quality?" :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. And make sure no one's around when you test out that heavy

machinery. :D :hi:

[LynneSin]

16. It's all about liability

You know the coffee is hot, I know the coffee is hot, everyone knows the coffee is hot and yet that didn't stop some idiot from suing McDonald's because they got scalded by the hot coffee. Now if I go to any store that sells coffee there are warning signs that the coffee is "hot" so at least they have covered their ass if someone spills the coffee and wants to sue again.

So we all know that sleeping pills will cause drowsiness; however, you know in this country is the one dumbass in this world that will take the sleeping pill get drowsy and perhaps crash their car into a tree or another car.

It's the dumbest thing to put on a prescription bottle (I have lunesta - I see it too) but it's all about Liability. If you can't read the clearly marked label warning you that the product is going to make you drowsy then don't come fricking suing us when it does

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. In my defense...

I did not know that sticking a knife in the toaster would cause an electric shock. Sure people have told me, but it wasn't written right on the toaster. ;) :hi:

[LynneSin]

18. What are you doing with a Toaster? Did you become a Lesbian

They need to smack that warning on all toasters. "Warning: Ownership of this appliance will lead to Lesbianism"

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. I am not responsible for my own actions...

...others are. :rofl:

[LynneSin]

20. HEY!! I'm more famous then you are

<<gotta milk this 15mins of fame for all it's worth>>

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Yes you are!!! Almost as famous as the Baby Panda!

I have only gotten on off the wall rabid RW type sites... :rofl:

I say you roll it into some sort of reality television show thing...

[LynneSin]

22. I think I'll just take my 15minutes and check that one off my To-Do list

:shrug:

So I don't watch cable news?

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Fine idea!

It is a huge thing, this not watching cable news. Apparently.

:hug:

[LynneSin]

24. You need a new signature smilie

That's such a sad smilie and you aren't a sad person

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. I got into a flame war about escalators would you believe...

...so KitchenWitch found this smiley for me and I stuck it there. I should probably change again. It's been awhile. :hi:

[LynneSin]

26. OMG - how could anyone get into a flame war about escalators

unless perhaps, the person initiating the flame war happens to be an Elevator Manufacturer

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. They were a "walker" and I am a "stander"...

I was raised to stand to the right on the escalator for safety's sake. That if one wished to walk one could use the stairs that run right next to the escalator. I, of course, was shown the error of my slovenly, fast assed, lazy ways here. :D

[LynneSin]

28. I'm definately a walker

I don't mind the standers unless for some bizarre reason they decide to block the entire escalator so you can't get through.
