If the increased risk of stroke, confusion, sweating, diarrhea, body hair, thoughts of suicide or death aren’t enough to scare you in TV drug ads, here are some they left out:
• Compulsive shopping: A drug used to treat Parkinson’s and restless leg syndrome can result in the strong urge to use your legs, especially at night. It can also reduce your impulse control which can lead to excessive eating, sex, gambling or shopping.
• Sleep texting: Some sleep medications can increase the odds you’ll eat, text, make calls, have sex or even drive in your sleep. However, you may not be sure if any of that is happening, as they can also trigger hallucinations and lapses in memory.
• Spontaneous combustion: A popular gel used for low testosterone is highly flammable - and guys using it need to be extra careful around any open flames.
• Brown eyes: The drug that helps you grow longer, fuller eyelashes can also turn your eyes to a dark shade of brown.
