What is the worst medication side effect you’ve experienced?

Hi everyone,

I hope you’re doing okay today.

When we talk about treatments, we often focus on the potential benefits, but the side effects can be just as life-altering. Whether it's fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, dizziness, mood shifts, or something more unexpected… sometimes it feels like we’re trading one problem for another.

💬 What’s the worst side effect you’ve ever experienced from a medication?

📌 Did it go away over time, or did you have to stop taking the treatment?

🧠 How did it impact your day-to-day life?
