59. Depends on if you understand them

Causation, correlation, and statistical information are rarely considered in amateur analyses. I say this as a person who has taken a lot of meds that list suicidal ideation\actions as rare potential side effects. Do you know that if a few people report mood improvement or euphoria with new meds, they are instantly scheduled as drugs that may be potentially abused?

I take one called Fycompa that indicates homicide as a rare potential side effect. It's because one child in a clinical trial said he wanted to kill his caretaker.

It's good that they are that cautious, but people need to be more informed about what they read and talk about.
