OK. here's a funny I have to share with you before I veg: (and it's not entirely off topic since we are all waiting with bated breath together for the FDA to approve clinical trials of a treatment) I have this medication that I am prescribed to take when the pain resulting from the complications created by the hole in my spine (lol, did ya get all that?) proves too much for me to withstand. I hate taking meds and almost have to be crawling before I will take it. So, I generally don't worry about these issues. However, I was looking at the documentation just a minute ago and laughed hysterically at the irony. So, I hopped on here and googled the meds & side effects.
