I read about someone who, after taking Ambien, thought their pet dog was a horse. They tried to saddle the poor dog up and ride it around the living room. The dog just looked at them like they were crazy. It must have been a really strange sight for anyone who saw it. These Ambien - induced hallucinations can lead to some really comical situations.
Sure. There was a case where a person took Ambien and woke up with a half - eaten sandwich in their hand and no memory of making or starting to eat it. It was really strange and a bit scary.
Well, there are quite a few scary side - effects related to Ambien. For instance, people may experience hallucinations. They could see things that aren't there or hear voices. Also, some users have had memory problems, like not being able to recall what they did during the time the drug was active. In addition, there have been cases of people becoming extremely aggressive while on Ambien, which is really concerning as it can be dangerous for themselves and those around them.
One person I know took Ambien and while half - asleep, they tried to have a conversation with their potted plant. They thought the plant was a long - lost friend and were sharing all their secrets. It was really hilarious when they told me about it the next day. They were so embarrassed but also found it quite funny in hindsight.
Sure. One side - effect - related horror story is about taste disturbances. A person taking Lamisil said that everything they ate tasted like metal. It was so bad that they lost their appetite completely. Another is hair loss. There was a case where a user noticed significant hair thinning after starting Lamisil treatment.
Yes. One horror story is about a woman who started metformin and had non - stop nausea. She couldn't keep any food down and lost a lot of weight in a short time because of it.
Yes. There are cases where patients taking Abilify had severe allergic reactions. Their skin broke out in rashes, they had difficulty breathing, and in some extreme cases, had to be hospitalized. Another side - effect - related 'abilify horror story' is about increased blood sugar levels.

Well, some patients had allergic reactions to amitriptyline. Their skin broke out in rashes, and they had itching all over their body. In more severe cases, there was swelling of the face and difficulty breathing. This is really a terrifying situation for those who experience it. Also, the mood swings it can cause are a big problem. People might go from being relatively calm to extremely irritable or depressed, which was very difficult for them and their families to deal with.
Sure. There are stories of people experiencing vision problems as a side effect of Eliquis. They might suddenly have blurry vision or see spots, which can be extremely frightening as it affects their daily life and ability to move around safely.
Yes. There are cases where patients experience severe itching as a side effect of dialysis. They scratch themselves raw, but the itch just won't go away. Also, some patients develop anemia as a side effect. They constantly feel weak and fatigued, and it's a never - ending cycle of trying to manage this on top of the dialysis treatment. It's like a nightmare for them.
Sure. One horror story is about the Stevens - Johnson syndrome. It's a very serious side effect where the skin blisters and peels off. People can be in a great deal of pain and have to be hospitalized. It's really scary.
