Since I had an almost identical experience, I'm going to guess the "borderline result" was cholesterol and the prescription was a statin, and the horrible side effect was abdominal pain or GI distress?

Statins always cause an uptick in my liver enzymes. PCPand crack cocaine are safer than those poisons.

I took it for precisely two days and threw it in the garbage. I guess I won't be going back to a doctor until I'm an old woman and get some hereditary heart problem.

Why even go then? I am an old woman, very healthy, and don't intend to jeopardize my health by going to a doctor!

My so-called "bad cholesterol" has been high since birth and is likely genetic and has not yet been associated with any cardiovascular problems.

My so-called "good" HDLs are similarly high. My immune system has thus far been excellent.

Statins dispensed as harmless candy is bullshit.
