How come all the good sounding drugs have death as a possible side effect? Seriously now.

It list a lot of things there for foods that will absolutely kill you if you mix it with this drug. So if you slip up once and eat some cheese, you will die.Spoiled or improperly stored meat, fish, or dairy products.
Oh no! The milk was sour and I took some Nardil! This constant fear of death isn't really helping my anxiety any...
Seriously though, that isn't the only anti-anxiety drug I've looked up today that had death as a side effect. How do you overcome constant compulsive worrying by taking a drug that says, "watch out, it might kill you."
Anyway, that just goes to show you the danger of ordering prescription medications over the net, without a prescription from a doctor. Even though American doctors take bribes from drug companies to prescribe certain things, even they don't want their patients/customers dead.
