The warning labels thread made me think about this. Who else hears the "side effects" for some of the new prescription drugs out there and laughs.

Oh please, I want to take something that could kill me just to get rid of a headache, please :sarcasm

Just wanted to see who else gets a kick out of these sometimes.

That was the one on when i wrote this. I was like, WTH. just so my legs don't feel restless. Is there really not a better way to work on this. Like maybe workout or do some leg exercises or something to tire them out more. I mean, seriously. This is something I would think there would be easier ways to cure than risking the effects.


I mean there are some serious diseases where I can see why you would need the medicine to take care of it, but this is a situation where, umm.. not necessary is it?
