I've been on BP meds since the spring and a LOT of the times, there are no side effects at ALL...you can usually get a good list of EXPECTED side effects and check with the doc about getting back to him about side effects NOT expected...turning into the Wolfman..suddenly deciding that Lindsey Lohan is a great singer after all...watching the entire run of MY MOTHER THE CAR..
The biggest pain in the can has been the kids...my son wanted to stop wrestling with me and I had to tell him it was okay...the daughter tried to shield me from BAD news and I got angier then I would have normally, because by the time I got to hear about it, everything was ready to hit the fan.
I had to tell them I was NOT Howard Hughes and that things were fine.
(I had an M.I., and didn't KNOW it...feel fine now, but have given up salt, caffine, and MOST grease...some KFC sometimes slips under the radar..the cool part was when the doc told me that I had the M.I. and then I came in for another look see and he told me there was no evidence of it now. I told him I had been going to a prayer group and that they had healed me. He SLAPPED the desk and laughed and laughed and told me how much he dug my sense of humor. I looked him straight in the eye and said I was SERIOUS. He stared at me for another two seconds, then pounded the table again and said;"See what I mean?? You just BUST ME up.."
The drugs have gotten better then they were even five years ago..sometimes the biggest danger is feeling so good you forget or don't want to take them..("I'm fine now..don't need this stuff anymore...")
Future events such as these will effect you in the future
