Worst medicine you've ever been prescribed?

What's the worst medicine you've ever been prescribed by a physician?
For me it would have to be ZYVOX(Linezolid) for MRSA, when I was at the hospital they had me on vancomycin & other strong antibiotics, but they do not even begin to compare to the hell this drug has put me through.
This shit makes it seem like you've been drinking gasoline or some shit, it just generally makes you feel in poor health to begin with, not to mention the nausea & diarrhea, muscle pain & weakness, headaches, etc...
The worst side effect though was how it made my mouth feel, it made my mouth literally hurt, it made everything taste like gas, it's horrible.
18+ months later my mouth is still like this, though not as bad, but still pretty bad, nothing really tastes the same anymore.
My dad had to take it later on too, he said he experienced most of the same side effects, especially the mouth part.
And you have to avoid foods/drinks high in tyramine, which is a lot of stuff, including but not limited to beer.
And to top it off they costed ~$3,000 too.

I highly reccomend to not ever take this medicine, if the hospital trys to make you take it, tell them no, you prefer to stay there and keep getting the vancomycin.

Probably Trazadone.. shit made me so congested it was impossible to breathe normally, so I'd have to breathe out of my mouth, which would give me dry mouth and make it even more impossible to sleep. After I finally did get to sleep I'd have nightmares all night and then when I woke up I'd spend the whole day feeling sick.
It was given to me for sleep... and ended up making it impossible for me to sleep.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream.

Adderal, made me super anxty and upset my tachychardia and made me unable to sleep. i quit that Metaprolol sucked for me the first few days since it made me super drowsy, my lips and hands numb, and slowed my heart beat down close to 40 bpm. but helps me now and im addicted to it and feel bad without it, a lot of social and general anxiety, racing heart, flushed face and cold and heat flushes. was worse for me than quiting cigs it got me hooked again when i had to stop taking it temporarily

Cipro - reading about it when taking it was a bit of a bug out. Some people reported being messed up after taking it and having fluoride in their body, I think I ended up being okay after taking it though and took magnesium at the time as a precaution.

The three chemo drugs I had to be injected with for 8 hours a day with two of them and 10 hours on Tuesday for the two and a third one which was the worst of them all, for four months.
The third one, the bad mofo, was the only one I could remotely say the name of and it sounded like bleomicin.

Accutane. Fuck that shit. I had the worst dry skin and biggest boogers for six months. The skin on my hands is still overly dry and cuts heal more slowly even after finishing the course.

I could deal with the skin. The boogers were the worst. Imagine giant rocks up your nose that stop you from breathing and make you bleed when you pick em out. Oh well, it's nothing on chemo, but it's what I've got. Shit is pretty funny in retrospect.

Hope you're doing well man. I remember your recent post about thinking you had meningitis again- this have something to do with it? Obviously don't answer if you don't want.
I don't like the stuffy nose of trazodone either. Doesn't really affect my dreams noticeably, either. All antidepressants and antipsychs I've been on just make me unable to remember them. No med I've ever taken has given me anything other than slight annoyances. IMO the most frustrating side-effect is when it effects my erectability

Tramadol, about eight years ago.
That was when I went in to my GP to ask for ritalin, hormone therapy, and a recommendation for MMJ, sporting a pretty dress and the sheen of a fresh shave. Oh, to be young and stupid again...
I really can't help but wonder what the fuck informed my doc's decision to prescribe me tramadol under those circumstances, though. I did enjoy the stuff, so much in fact that I killed it in five days. Those were very breezy days. Never went back for more because as much as I love opiates, I also fear them.

I understand what you went through(to the biggest extent that I can), chemo ain't no joke, it's literally like poison, so everyone else complaining about other medicines probably seem like a joke to you.
...I don't want to sound like a bitch, but the long lasting problems ZYVOX has caused me are pretty annoying, but that's about it, but still I'd like to be able to not have my mouth hurt, and I like to be able to taste good food.

Yeah, I've done grams of tramadol over the course of a few days before when I could get them for free, having my own script would scare me a little, but not as much as a real opiate script.
