A bit touchy Robert. The way you stated it made it look like inevitable
and pronounced side effects:

I _have_ read the PDR, the British National Formulary, Medline, the WWW
and other published literature.
The reports I've read, the anecdotal evidence from my doctors and
they're patients, and _personal experience_ indicate that these side
effects (in appropriate doses) are infrequent, mild and/or transitory
(and in the case of your citation 'benign').
For those of us that need to take this stuff your 'chicken little' style
of post can be disturbing.
Your post appeared to contradict virtually everthing I've read and
experienced. My question was polite and investigative because I wanted
to know how you came to such definitive (and frightening) conclusions.
All the best,
Tom
