    Sleeping pill, my doc prescribed 3 different kinds but they all had the same effect - not effective and when tried to get up and out of bed I was very dizzy and disoriented. Anyway my sleep did come back eventually.

    I got higher than a kite.  (look at all these pretty lights flashing around me).   A coworker had to drive me home from work and put me to bed.

    A doc gave me a prescription for codeine for toothache pain until I could get to the dentist.  I thought the top of my head was sheared off.  Then, I got a prescription for Advair for some supposed "asthma" type issue and I was sure I could fly.

    i used to take a medication for MS that made me incredibly ill. i would get violently sick and vomit, plus bad diarrhoea. i would also get “flushed“ and my body temperature would increase so much that I would get super dehydrated and one time my vision faded and I almost passed out 

    i stopped taking it because my doctor refused to prescribe me enough zofran for every dose
