I would love someone to tell me a single drug, medical procedure or protocol that does not have side effects. People die from OD’ing on aspirin.

Sheesh.

Exactly. The drugs used to fight cancer have horrible side effects, often cost thousands of dollars per treatment, and the patient quite often dies anyway.

Exactly.

One year ago this month, I underwent Oral Surgery.

My surgeon prescribed Hydrocodone and an extremely high dose of Ibuprofen. I think they were 600 MGs. I was instructed to take the Ibuprofen three times daily.

Of course, I’d taken Ibuprofen before, but not at that high amount. A few days later, I started feeling very anxious and then started suffering panic attacks.

I do suffer from anxiety and panic attacks and am prescribed benzos for panic attacks, but I couldn’t figure out why, all of a sudden, I was a panicky mess.

On a whim, I googled Ibuprofen and what can happen if one takes large amounts. I was shocked to discover that, in a few select people, large amounts of Ibuprofen can cause panic attacks. Those were rare side effects but, for people like myself, the pills could cause panic attacks.

After that, I cut down on the Ibuprofen and took more of the Hydrocodone. That helped immensely.

Your post was spot on. There are many innocuous drugs that most people take with no problems but, for some reason, cause serious problems for some people. Everyone’s systems are different.
