This morning I was listening tp the radio and an ad for some prescription sleep aid comes on. Nothing out of the ordinary here - until it got to the list of possible side effects. The speaker droned through the usual suspects - headache, dry mouth, nausea, and drowsiness.
Wait a minute. Drowsiness is a SIDE EFFECT?? That's like saying a side effect of Viagra is...well, you get the idea. Drowsiness isn't a side effect, it's the primary point, the entire reason for the drug in the first place. This ad actually annoyed me with its stupid list of side effects, which I know is to cover legal issues, but still. Or am I being unreasonable? Who knows.

Haha...reminds me of the radio commercial that said they don't hire people who smoke and then immediately said they were an equal opportunity employer.
arg....that was my comment. I didn't mean to hit enter yet.
I wonder if like viagra you are supposed to contact your doctor if the drug has the intended effect for over 4 hours LOL
