Medication Side Effects

I always find the concept of medication "side effects" as interesting. Why? Because neurobiology doesn't recognize the difference between target and "side" effects. We just market the effects that are potentially helpful. Many useful medications were discovered when "side effects" of other meds were realized to be helpful. Welbutrin and Viagra are just a couple of these. One of the following clips are about real (albeit bizzare) side effects and one is fake. Guess which is which.
