5) Amnesia, gambling, and sex – Mirapax:
Restless leg syndrome is the uncontrollable urge to move your legs
Restless leg syndrome must be annoying to live with, so seeking medication for it is probably quite common. Which is worrying since the side effects clearly have a much more damaging impact on people’s lives than the actual syndrome. One medicationknown as Mirapax causes you to have amnesia. Mirapax also cause people to become compulsive gamblers. People who never normally gambled, found themselves taking long journeys to casino’s only to lose thousands of pounds. It also caused people to become extremely horny. You can imagine how sleeping with a stranger, losing all your money, and then forgetting it ever happened can have more impact on your life than restless leg syndrome.
4) Halucinations – Lariam:

Three people who killed there wives shortly after starting Lariam, are believed to have done so because of the dangerous drug. They all exhibited manic behavior, and paranoia before killing there spouses.

Acutane has over 80 side effects, including loss of normal personality, and reality, aggressive behaviour, suicide, seizures, strokes, excessive hairiness, impaired wound healing, sudden blindness, and pain whenever you move your eye. Although it’s rare to have more than one of these symptoms at any one time.
