Some medications can increase the likelihood of strokes. That s/e is usually at the top of the list or in a black box warning if the incidence is high.

I like to look up med side effects on drugs.com, and also read that section of s/e for medical professionals, where they also list the incidence of ie/ cardiovascular events, etc in percentages. It usually does not change my decision whether or not to take a medication because many of those side effects are so rare, and can just happen to people randomly in drug trials.

How is your mood today, Mari?
