Moose is right about the reason why a significant portion of people don't take their medications properly--don't like side-effects and not willing to go for the guinea pig routine. In fact, in consideration of the impact of side-effects, medications allow serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, severe depression, and bipolar disease to be treated as successfully as cardiovascular illnesses, but patients who don't see that they have an illness or anosognosia, wonder why they have to put up with Parkinsonianisms, or priapism, tardive dyskinesias, etc. <br /><br />As a recovering spelloholiic I got a kick out of 'phaze'... faze vs. phase, and when there's some doubt...phaze.<br /><br />Gotta love the English language. <br /><br />Seriously, as part of my recovery, I'm leading an underground movement for Esperanto as national second language.

I'd like to think that a prescribing physician would want to know about any and *all* things that could be side effects of meds.<br /><br />I read somewhere that the most common reason people stop taking meds is because of the side effects. Instead of going to the Dr and saying, "Well I know it's working for my XYZ but it causes this problem" they just stop taking it. If the Dr knows about the side effect he can, at the very least, talk to the patient about the pros and cons of the med and/or try something else.<br /><br />... and I'm just beating the Obvious Horse, aren't I? :-)Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397412122635951126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-77304778438012578822011-02-18T22:09:28.837-05:002011-02-18T22:09:28.837-05:00I'm female and a medical transcriptionist so I...I'm female and a medical transcriptionist so I listen to all the craziness you hear all day via the docs at my hospital. I have no shame whatsoever when I go to the doctor. A few years ago, against my better judgement, I started an SSRI. I went back for my 3-month followup and said "I can't achieve an orgasm so we've got to switch the meds." The doctor looked at me like I had just spoken in tongues while levitating. I suppose y'all aren't used to straightforward, aye? I guess I should have beat around the bush more...see that was a pun and it was totally intended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-65507760194446171902011-02-18T21:53:21.024-05:002011-02-18T21:53:21.024-05:00I'm guessing it took a lot of courage to be ho...I'm guessing it took a lot of courage to be honest about the side effects of his medication.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786198901926947022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-58267395775362551842011-02-18T17:52:32.286-05:002011-02-18T17:52:32.286-05:00The complaint is nothing new, and doesn't phaz...The complaint is nothing new, and doesn't phaze me.<br /><br />It's more his choice of description that took me by surprise.Grumpy, M.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09858110332436246760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-88082693753471271352011-02-18T17:52:08.802-05:002011-02-18T17:52:08.802-05:00Given that euphemism, I can't help but wonder ...Given that euphemism, I can't help but wonder whether his orgasms are really really terrible, or really really great.esranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-15569134069093540522011-02-18T17:48:07.073-05:002011-02-18T17:48:07.073-05:00I'm guessing you hear that a lot, since the me...I'm guessing you hear that a lot, since the meds you get to prescribe to treat neuro problems usually have that side effect.
