Side effects may include

 Dear sad, pathetic side effects

you showed up with the cure

you put a ringing in my ears

and made my vision blur

My fingers swelled up twice their size

my belches - not so sweet

my ankles turn the other way

my thoughts are incomplete

I've pain in both my elbows

and my scalp is always numb

I can blow some awesome bubbles

and not use bubble gum

My tongue now always tingles

and my teeth are falling out

I still can button up my shirt

but must wear it inside-out

My liver often spasms

and my kidneys turned to stone

These side effects have scared me

I'm afraid to be alone

The maker of this drug I took

spell it with Q's and Z's

I try hard to pronounce it

but it always makes me sneeze

every other eyelash

somehow seems to twitch

I no longer keep a secret

I seem compelled to snitch

the warning on your label

was way too small to read

but thanks for coming up with this

it's exactly what I need.
