Default A limerick with a Lesson

A beginner in auto mechanics
Was experiencing tension and panics
For the laddie would fear
Cars would shift out of gear
So his doctor prescribed him some Xanax

Now Xanax can be habit forming
And the lads doc was so misinforming
He took more than he ought
And the plights that this brought
Were at work, for he wasn't performing

Aye, the med made this laddie so tired
That in April, the poor boy was fired
His recall was quite blurred
As to what had occurred
And just how his dilemma transpired

There was an aspiring mechanic
With a story, alas, that is tragic
Too late he discerned
But the lesson he learned
Is that no med has wonders like magic

Some more of my Pharmaceutical Limericks:

There once was a man on Lamictal
Whose dilemma still gives me a tickle
This may sound a bit corny
But it made him quite horny
He was 98, though. What a pickle!

<center>~~~</center>

There was an old lady from Trenton
Who for 63 years took Dilantin
But she had a reaction
From the drug's interaction
With some "spirits" that she was fermentin'

<center>~~~</center>

I find that I must wink one eye
When my Tegretol level gets high
I know I'm in trouble
When I start to see double
And I walk like I've had a Mai Tai

<center>~~~</center>

Depakote caused me many sad frowns
As it made me gain 23 pounds
Soon wearing a large
I felt big as a barge
For the scale would never go down

On Neurontin, I gained some more weight
People asked me, "When is your due date?"
For I saw my weight jump
As my torso got plump
Sigh! I'll never again see size eight

<center>~~~</center>

There was a plump man named McCord
On Zyprexa, his appetite soared
This man, I submit
Was a bottomless pit
'Twas a habit he couldn't afford

I was reading where coughing can be a side effect, so how about this:

A woman on Lisinopril
Started feeling so terribly ill
She developed a cough
That she couldn't fight off
The prescription was never refilled

A boy smoked marijuana,
when the sun made earth a suana,
Since it became so frigging hot,
he had to smoke the rest of his pot

-----

A teen does oxycontin,
soon the drug will start to haunt him,
inside the minds of addicts,
turning coping into habits
