It really depends. What is the medication supposed to treat?

I am lucky in that I rarely experience any side effects from my medications, at least the ones that work. I have a hard time finding an allergy med that actually works, as they keep discontinuing the meds that I discover DO work, but otherwise I know I am fortunate. My Dad and two of my siblings are the opposite - given the exact same medicine, same dosage that I took twice a day for ten years until they stopped manufacture of it, and my sister was basically knocked out for about 18 hours. Even when I was a kid, I remember being 9 years old, and it was August, so Dad (lova ya, Dad!) and I were both struggling to breathe because of ragweed allergies. Dad is 6 feet tall, and a large guy. I was an average - not too tall or short - nine-year-old. We both took a single white Corcidin. Ten minutes later, someone had to lead him by the hand to his recliner, as he was so light-headed, but I felt just fine!

Are the side effects - I know they are "possible" side effects - you list really for two actual medicines?
