Well I\u2019ve been taken off my tablets. Apparently I was impossible to live with. After taking me off them my Mistress looked them up on the internet and apart from saying that they are not satisfactorily proven in human trials it says they can cause \u2018mild-to-moderate mood swings, hostility, concentration problems, and hyperactivity\u2019. Well they did! I\u2019d just like to apologise to those around me who have had to suffer my behaviour. In particular I\u2019m hoping that Megan will forgive me as she has been the one subjected to the hostility. It did say that in humans there can be an increased risk of suicidal actions, fortunately that is a line a dog does not normally go down. What it has made me think is why, when there are laws requiring human medication to come with an information sheet including what the side effects of medication can be, aren\u2019t there laws protecting animals in the same way? It is easy to observe and report side effects. We don\u2019t put things on just to get attention and with the exception of the time we got pet rabbits, I\u2019m as mild mannered as they come when I\u2019m not taking drugs. Now these drugs were given to me for legitimate health reasons, but if taking drugs can mess with your brain to the extent these have with mine it is a good reason to avoid any of the so called \u2018recreational drugs\u2019 as you just don\u2019t know what they are doing to you. I\u2019ve never felt inclined to try any of them before, but as sure as anything I will not be trying any of them in future. I\u2019m also going to do some research on anything I\u2019m prescribed before I start taking it. From the bottom of my heart, my advice to all you dogs out there is stay off the drugs!<\/p>\n
