Good luck with that.

                        Prolonged use of senna has been reported to cause:
                            chronic diarrhea causing excessive electrolyte and nutrient loss,
                            worsened constipation after senna withdrawal (laxative dependency),
                            enlargement of the ends of the fingers and toes, and
                            pigmentation of the colon.

That does happen as you describe but there are cases where it is not so cut and dry and the doctor could be actually liable for fault.

I was taking Tricor for high triglycerides. About 3-6 month later I started getting severe cramps and pain in my hands when using hand tools like a screwdriver and a wrench. Bascially anything that I had to grip. I went back to my doctor and explained my symptoms, I was checked for Carpal tunnel and arthritis, both were negative. Turns out through some research on my own that muscle cramping may be a side effect of Tricor. This was never mentioned to me and was not considered even when the same doctor (my doctor for years) was treating me for both things. I guess I should have looked myself considering this was a new daily drug I would be taking for a long time. I have switched to a different drug but to this day, my hands are still cramping and it is a real PITA to do small intracate things like tighten a screw on my glasses, lace up a pair of shoes, or try to put a 2 inch screw into a piece of wood with a screwdriver. I would not even consider any type of legal action as the problem is not getting worse but it would have been real nice to know about these side effects even after going back to the same doctor with the complaints. Maybe the Tricor is not to blame. Who knows. I am only 35 for reference.

when faced with M-16 toting guys can't avoid an "uncontrollable tremor" in their voice.

Gentlemen, I have a one-word solution to your problems:

Ativan.

Be cool, relaxed and fear nothing as you walk calmly through the airport. (Even if you're strapped with explosives)

Yes, please do give actual citations instead of spreading your propaganda on Slashdot. All these new drugs coming on the market are the result of billions of dollars of research of DRUG COMPANY money. Just take a look at the list of the most commmon drugs and tell me how many of those were developed even partially as a result of university research.

Well, it's been tried with cola -- why not beer?

Oh, and as for that "bit of a caffeine-like hit", that's no surprise, since guarana, like mate, is a source of the actual real thing, not some imaginary-elf-land "more natural/healthy" alternative.

nice one. also, i have a few of these left if you're interested.

Which ones? The one's who have one line or two?

"Windows Upgrade, FAA Error Cause LAX Shutdown"

Sounds to me like Windows causes constipation. Use moderatly.

antabuse. Now all we need is the equivalent of naloxone for when you forget to use lockout, and end up slashdotting so much it makes you dizzy.
