stop unwanted pregnancies, get death as a consolation prize!

so this non-sleeping thing, some educated minds thought it might be due to yet another new birth control pill (5th time's a charm?) that i just started...

under the heading of "other more serious side effects" you get a veritable medical encyclopaedia of things that might be wrong with you:
  • sharp pain in the chest, coughing blood, or sudden shortness of breath - these symptoms could indicate a possible blood clot in the lung;
  • pain in the calf - this symptom could indicate a possible blood clot in the leg;
  • crushing chest pain or heaviness - this symptom could indicate a possible heart attack;
  • severe headache, vomiting, dizziness, weakness, or numbness - these symptoms could indicate a possible stroke;
  • sudden partial or complete loss of vision - this symptom could indicate a possible blood clot in the eye... and so on

talk about covering your bases! believe you me, when the doctor gave me the perscription, she may have failed to mention these "side effects"... it's like in those ridiculous drugs-on-tv ads - "side effects may include dizziness, loss of vision, headaches, anal bleeding, and death." but hey! your restless leg syndrome is all cleared up!
