That's not good.  In my case all I get are the side effects.  Sounds like
neither of us should be anywhere near them.

Been there, taken that - post-op in my case.  They use for really nasty

They gave me a Baclofen scrip.  I've used about half a dozen pills out of
the six month supply.  It's good for days when I've been running around for
a while or didn't get much sleep the night before. There's no way I'd take
it when I actually have to stand up.

The rash.  My MS drug gives me what feels like a full-on allergic reaction
once in a blue moon.  It only went full monty and wiped me out once, so
far.  On the upside, I know what an anaphalactic (SP) reaction feels like
without actually having one.

Or TVP!  Actually, for a vegetarian, that recipe might not be half bad.
