Today, I found out that my doctor wasn't kidding when he said "sudden diarrhea may occur" with my new medication. I learned this while walking my dog a mile away from my house. FML

HauntedTwilight tells us more.

Hey, OP here :) I've never experienced any side effects from medication (until now), and when the doctor and I went over the side effects together he kind of chuckled when he said "sudden diarrhea may occur". The medication is cymbalta (anti-depressant) so I took it as a joke that an anti-depressant could cause such a side effect, and when he chuckled I really thought he was kidding. I was clearly wrong, haha. Luckily, I was able to bolt home before anything extremely bad happened. My dog enjoyed the quick run a lot more than I did. Still easily one of the most embarrassing days of my life! I've earned the nickname "Shitty pants" from my 61 year old father who is never going to let me forget this. Shitty situation all around! :P

One time my mom shit herself (due to side effects of a medication). But she was on the train.. People started looking around and covering their noses so my mom just did too lol. She played it cool till she got home.

Why would you think your doctor would joke about that?

A friend of mine agreed with me that you haven't lived a complete life unless you've shit yourself at least once in your adult life. It's just one of those things

I have to ask, if you knew this, why were you walking a mile away from your house?

I've never had side effects from medication before. And I literally thought he was kidding when he said it because of the little laugh. It was only the first day of taking the medication when this happened, so if side effects were to happen, I didn't think that they would happen on day one.
