Side Effects

So…the next time the Doctor decides to put me on medication I’ve never taken before, I think I will be a little wiser and read the side effects BEFORE I attempt to go back to work. 
Seriously.
I know that I tend to react a little “differently” to medications than “normal” people.  Take the current medication.  The Warning: May cause anxiety or anxiousness; contact your doctor if you have thoughts of hurting yourself.  My Reaction: Extreme giddiness and laughing hysterically until my coworkers can’t help but laugh with me and beg for some of what I am on.  I think my re-action to the anxiety I was feeling was laughter.  After I left work and started to calm down, I felt a lot better.  At least I started to feel SANE again. 
Now I know it was expected…
Don’t get me wrong – it’s pretty entertaining.  But not the best thing for you manager to see…at least I warned him.
