My dad's been taking that medication for almost three years.

Yet another medication recalled. :roll:

Did it ever occur to these pill pushers to make sure the pills have no dangerous effects *before* releasing them to patients? Not that there are any drugs still available that' don't. Just one of the psychatric meds I have that is still perfectly allowed to take can have side effects such as urinary incontinence, shortness of breath, confusion, migraines, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, night sweats, fainting, and suicide. And *those* are the *common* side effects,from taking the *proper* dose of medication. :x
