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.

I wonder if like viagra you are supposed to contact your doctor if the drug has the intended effect for over 4 hours LOL
