My dad had the Pill Book too! I remember seeing the lists of side effects for some of the meds, some of which I had taken, and getting a little freaked out. But in reality I experienced very few of the SE's listed. Still it's good to know the possibilities and be aware of what could, even if it likely won't, happen. Because like in Michanne's experience with Lamictal, sometimes scary things happen. My h almost died from an allergic reaction to antibiotics too. You need to know what to look for but not become neurotic about it.
